Chairman of the KPK Firli Bahuri Speaks Openly about the Meeting Photo with Syahrul Yasin Limpo

Dream - Firli Bahuri finally speaks up about the photo of his meeting with Syahrul Yasin Limpo on the badminton field. According to the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the photo was intentionally spread by corruptors whose cases are currently being handled by the KPK.

"So many corruption cases are being resolved by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). It is highly possible that currently the corruptors are uniting to launch an attack, what we know as 'when the corruptor strike back,' but we will definitely reveal everything."

"According to Firli, quoted from Liputan6.com, Monday, October 9, 2023."

"Before the KPK Investigates the Ministry of Agriculture"

In the photos circulating on the internet, Firli appears to be meeting with the former Minister of Agriculture on the badminton court. However, Firli ensures that there is no discussion related to the legal case. Firli also stated that the meeting took place before the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigated the alleged corruption case at the Ministry of Agriculture.

"The meeting on the badminton field between me and the Minister of Agriculture at the time, Syahrul Yasin Limpo, took place before that period, precisely around March 2, 2022, and it was also crowded in an open place."

During the meeting, Firli added, Syahrul Yasin Limpo is not someone involved in a case at the KPK. Syahrul Yasin Limpo's status is not a suspect, defendant, or convict. "The incident, moreover, was not initiated or invited by me," Firli emphasized.

Syahrul Yasin Limpo is involved in a case of extortion, gratification, and money laundering. However, amidst the investigation of the case, a photo of a meeting between Firli and Syahrul circulated. Not only that, there is an allegation that Firli extorted Syahrul Yasin Limpo. Currently, the alleged extortion case is being handled by investigators from the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) of the Metro Jaya Regional Police. The Director of Special Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimsus) of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Commissioner Ade Safri Simanjuntak, stated that this case has escalated from an investigation to a criminal investigation.

"Next, an Investigation Warrant (Surat Perintah) will be issued to carry out a series of investigations according to the procedures set by the law in order to search for and collect evidence that will clarify the criminal act that occurred and identify the perpetrator."

Ade said at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, last Saturday.

Ade said that the investigators are using three articles, namely Article 12 letter e or Article 12 letter B, or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption (Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 65 of the Criminal Code. "To proceed to the investigation stage of alleged corruption in the form of extortion, which is a civil servant or state official who benefits himself or others, or abuses his power by paying or receiving payments with deductions or something for himself," said Ade.

"Or the acceptance of gratuities, which means any gratuity given to a public servant is considered a bribe if it is related to their position, or a public servant who receives gifts or promises because of their power or authority related to their position," said Ade.

"Syahrul Yasin Limpo has been requested for testimony three times as a witness in a case of alleged extortion committed by the Leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in handling a case at the Ministry of Agriculture. 'He has been requested for clarification three times and today is the third time he has been requested for testimony or clarification regarding the alleged criminal act that occurred and was reported,' said Ade, last Thursday. The case of alleged extortion committed by the leadership of the KPK against Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo came to light after the Sub-directorate V of Tipidkor of the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police received a complaint from the public or Dumas on August 12, 2023."
