Previously, Novel Baswedan revealed that there was a suspicious transaction carried out by a former anti-corruption commission employee. The former investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the value was not kidding. "The transaction value is Rp. 300 billion, and I suspect more, some say it is almost Rp. 1 trillion even," Novel said in a YouTube show quoted on Monday, July 3. The unnamed employee worked in the era of KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri, said Novel. The former employee used to work as an investigator but had been returned to the Police. Meanwhile, Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said Tri Suhartanto was sent back to the National Police not because of suspicious transactions he had done. The tenure of the Bhayangkara Corps member is claimed to have been completed. "The person concerned returned to the National Police because his term of duty had already ended. So it's not because of other problems at the KPK," Ali told reporters in a written statement, Monday, July 3. Ali said Tri finished serving at the KPK in February 2023 and is now promoted as the Chief of Police. He has worked at the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution since the end of 2018. Meanwhile, regarding the alleged suspicious transaction, said Ali, a request for confirmation has been made. "And it was conveyed that it was not true that there was a connection while on duty at the KPK," he said.

From the confirmation, it is known that the billions of rupiah was obtained because Tri has been in business since 2004. He had not joined the KPK at that time. "Even since 2018 the account in question has also been closed," he said.
