Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said that the flow of money to the NasDem Party in the corruption case of former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo was not a personal opinion. There is strong evidence related to his statement.

Hal tersebut disampaikan Alexander menanggapi Partai NasDem yang berencana mengajukan summas akibat pernyataannya ketika konferensi pers penahan Syahrul pada Jumat, 13 Oktober. Dia saat itu menyampaikan adanya aliran uang korupsi ke partai besutan Surya Paloh hingga miliar rupiah.

"What I said yesterday is of course based on the evidence obtained during the investigation," Alexander said in his statement quoted Monday, October 16.

He emphasized that what was conveyed at the press conference represented leaders and institutions. "That's not a personal statement," said Alexander.

Previously, the anti-corruption commission revealed the flow of corruption money Syahrul Yasin Limpo in a press conference for detention. In addition to the Umrah pilgrimage with Ministry of Agriculture employees and personal needs, the money also flows to the party.

Responding to the statement, the NasDem Party considered a subpoena against Alexander. The reason is that they feel aggrieved.

"We are considering subpoenaing Mr. Alexander Marwata with his words," Sahroni said at a press conference at the NasDem DPP Office, Central Jakarta, Saturday, October 14.

The general treasurer of the NasDem Party confirmed that there was no billions of rupiah from Syahrul. Sahroni has even checked the party's account.

"We regret why we assume directly that the flow to the NasDem Party. This is very detrimental to us because openly Mr. Alex conveyed this as information which is suspected to be a flow to the party," he said.
