JAKARTA - Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean confirmed that alleged ethical violations against KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri would be handled independently. They will not indiscriminately investigate incoming reports. "(The KPK Dewas, red) is independent. Why not," said Tumpak to reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta Tuesday, April 11. Moreover, said Tumpak, this is not the first time for the KPK Council to investigate Firli's alleged ethical violations. "Are you suspicious of Pak Panggabean? I don't have a burden, let me know," he said. Furthermore, Tumpak ensured that the KPK Council was ready to impose a sentence if Firli was to violate ethics. However, the light weight will be determined by the Ethics Council. "Yes, we'll see later. The assembly will determine that later," he said. Previously, former KPK Director of Investigation Brigadier General Endar Priantoro also reported Firli and Secretary General of the KPK Cahya H. Harefa. This report was carried out in the aftermath of his removal from the position he held. Endar was respectfully dismissed on March 31 after he was returned to the National Police. However, the Bhayangkara Corps member was instead asked to return to the KPK according to the order of the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo. Not only that, Firli was also reported to the KPK Council for allegedly leaking the investigation documents of alleged corruption at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

This report related to the leak was carried out by former KPK leaders, namely Abraham Samad, Bambang Widjojanto, and Saut Situmorang with the Civil Society Coalition. The submission of the alleged report was carried out on Monday, April 10.
