Terpidana Korupsi Eddy Rumpoko Dikubur di Taman Makam Pahlawan, Begini Respons KPK

"Convicted Corruptor Eddy Rumpoko Buried in Heroes Cemetery, Here's KPK's Response"

Dream - the body of former Mayor of Batu, East Java, Eddy Rumpoko, was buried at the Heroes Cemetery (TMP) Suropati, Malang City, on Thursday, November 30, 2023. Eddy passed away while still serving his sentence for corruption. According to Merdeka.com, the Head of Class I Penitentiary in Semarang, Usman Madjid, stated that Eddy passed away due to heart failure while being treated at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang. Eddy had been receiving medical treatment at RSUP Dr. Kariadi since Tuesday, November 28, 2023, after complaining of illness since Sunday, November 26, 2023.

Eddy's burial at TMP Kota Batu has become the public's spotlight and also the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Deputy Chairman of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, expressed that the KPK regrets the burial of convicted corruptor Eddy Rumpoko at TMP Kota Batu.

"We regret that someone who has been declared corrupt based on a court decision, which means they have harmed and betrayed the people and the state of Indonesia, is apparently buried in the Heroes Cemetery (TMP Kota Batu)."

"Nurul Ghufron said, quoted from Malang Network."

Nurul Gufron requested a review of the regulations regarding who is allowed to be buried in the heroes' cemetery. Especially those who will be buried in the heroes' cemetery are convicted of corruption.

"Moving forward, it is necessary to review again the protocol for those who are eligible to be buried in the Heroes Cemetery," said Nurul. "Regardless of any honors received, if it turns out that they have been proven corrupt afterwards, all of those honors should be reevaluated for their suitability and their right to be buried in the Heroes Cemetery," she explained. According to her, this is important because it relates to the respect of the Indonesian nation for its heroes. \u00a0"

"Not only that, the burial of convicted corruptor Eddy Rumpoko at TMP Kota Batu also received attention from former KPK investigator, Yudi Purnowo Harahap. Yudi conveyed that this could happen due to a permissive attitude towards corruption issues."

"This is clearly a mistake that resulted from a permissive attitude towards corruption. We already know that a corrupt inmate is currently serving a prison sentence, but instead of being buried in a regular cemetery, they were buried in the Heroes Cemetery."

"However, he believed that this should be taken as a lesson because it has already been buried and it is impossible to move it. 'It has already been buried, it is also impossible to move it, this is a lesson,' added Yudi."

"Convicted of Corruption"

Eddy Rumpoko was involved in corruption cases twice. First, in 2017, he was caught in an operation by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison at the cassation level for being proven guilty of accepting bribes. Second, Eddy was convicted again in a corruption case and was sentenced to seven years in prison by the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Surabaya District Court. He has been serving his sentence at Semarang Class I Penitentiary since May 2022.
