Brigadier General Endar Returns To KPK Confirmed Not Because Of Document Leaks Investigation At Polda

Brigadier General Endar Priantoro (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) claims that Brigadier General Endar Priantoro's return was not due to the increase in investigation of the leak of documents at Polda Metro Jaya. The two things are certainly not related.

"Yes, there is no (exchange of overthrows, ed)," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, July 6.

Asep did not want to talk much about the allegations that appeared in public. As for the case at Polda Metro Jaya, he invited the investigation to be carried out.

"If the case there please be asked at the Regional Police, for the case of Mr. Endar here, yes, there was a meeting between the leadership of the National Police and the KPK, then there was also Kemenpan RB, discussed together there," said Asep.

Furthermore, Asep ensured Asep's return to maintain the harmonization of law enforcers. Moreover, the eradication of corruption needs to be carried out by many parties.

"We both enforce the law of corruption," he said.

Previously, Endar was dismissed as Director of Investigation and returned to the Bhayangkara Corps. He then fought back by reporting Firli Bahuri, Secretary General of the KPK Cahya H. Harefa, and the KPK HR Bureau to the Supervisory Board.

Not only that, Endar also reported a number of allegations to the KPK Council regarding Firli's alleged ethical violation. One of them is related to the leaking of investigation documents at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources which Firli later decided not to be guilty.

Furthermore, Endar also reported the alleged maladministration of his dismissal to the Indonesian Ombudsman. Then, he reported Firli to the Polda Metro Jaya for allegedly leaking documents.

Later, Endar returned to the KPK on Wednesday, July 5. The KPK calls this effort a form of synergy with the Police in eradicating corruption.
