JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto confirmed that he would thoroughly investigate the alleged extortion case by the leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) against former Agriculture Minister (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL.

According to him, all reports of alleged criminal acts submitted to Polda Metro Jaya will be resolved.

"Yes, when the case has been submitted, we will solve it," Karyoto told reporters, Wednesday, October 11.

However, Karyoto did not convey the latest developments in the handling of the alleged extortion case. The reason is that the investigation process is still ongoing.

In fact, when asked about the figure of the reported person who was called the head of the KPK, the two-star general only said that it would later be open after the investigation process was completed.

Currently, the investigative team is still collecting evidence and clues to uncover the suspect who blackmailed SYL.

Polda Metro Jaya has upgraded the status of the alleged extortion case committed by KPK officials to SYL to the investigation stage. The decision is based on the results of the case title.

"From the results of the implementation of the case title, it is then recommended to increase the status of the investigation to the investigation stage of the alleged criminal act of corruption in the form of extortion," said Director of Special Criminal Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak.
