JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that allegations of corruption in the implementation of the Formula E racing event in Jakarta continue to be investigated. They ensured that this investigation was purely an enforcement step.

"Let us work in accordance with legal provisions. Do not intervene, do not then be dragged, dragged to the narrative that what we are doing has political content," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, February 9.

"Once again we have never worked in that area," he continued.

Ali said the KPK often heard that the investigation into the alleged corruption was withdrawn to the political realm ahead of the political year. Moreover, former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was summoned and questioned by investigators.

However, the alleged political KPK should be stopped. "We emphasize that we are law enforcers. Our glasses are a law enforcement process," said Ali.

Even if this investigation has not been raised to an investigation, said Ali, the cause is because each case has its own challenges and uniqueness. However, he did not want to specify what these challenges were.

Ali only ensured that the KPK would investigate this alleged corruption in accordance with applicable regulations. They will not be selective.

"When there are public reports, we follow up as long as there is sufficient evidence according to the provisions. Who is it, whatever background we must determine as a suspect. Whoever it is, that's our commitment," he said.

Previously, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata said there were obstacles in the investigation of Formula E. One of them, they have not been able to ask for assistance from the British KPK or the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).

In fact, the KPK must ask for their help because Formula E Operation (FEO) as the global organizer of the electric car racing event is domiciled in the country.

"For example, we can't help SFO (Serious Fraud Office) yet," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters in Jakarta quoted on Monday, December 12.

The assistance referred to by the KPK is to request documents to information from related parties. Next, Alexander said they could not force related parties to attend.

"We call them, they are still volunteers," he said.
