"“After the Investigation Order in the name of witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo was signed and designated as a suspect, the examiner (Firli Bahuri) again communicated with witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo through WhatsApp messages in September 2023,” said member of the Ethics Council of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Syamsuddin Haris, quoted from Liputan6.com, Wednesday, December 27, 2023. The communication took place while Syahrul Yasin Limpo alias SYL was on an official trip to Rome, Italy. At that time, the investigators were searching the residence of the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Kasdi Subagyono."

"During the time when witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo was in Rome and the KPK investigators conducted a search at the house of witness Kasdi Subagyono," said Haris. According to Haris, at that time SYL asked for guidance from Firli Bahuri because he had become a suspect in the KPK. Firli Bahuri briefly responded to the message, but it was immediately deleted by Firli Bahuri."

"In the communication, witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo said 'excuse me, general, just received the information. We request guidance and assistance because we are still overseas.' And it was replied by the suspect (Firli) which was later deleted," said Haris.

"Communication was not conveyed by the suspect to other leaders," Haris added. During the examination, Haris continued, Syahrul Yasin Limpo has given permission to the Supervisory Board to access and use the screenshot evidence of his communication with Firli Bahuri, which has been seized by the KPK investigators as evidence."

"Considering that it was examined in the Clarification Minutes that the authenticity of the conversation between the examinee and witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo in the form of screenshots is doubtful, but the doubt of the examinee is unfounded because besides not being supported by other evidence, it is also based on the testimony of digital forensic expert Saji Purwanto, the screenshot regarding the communication between the examinee and witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo through the WhatsApp application, which originated from the mobile phone owned by witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo, confiscated by the KPK investigators and used as evidence in the trial, is true and not the result of editing," added Haris. The Ethics Commission of the KPK has imposed a severe ethical sanction on Firli Bahuri for provenly holding a meeting with Syahrul Yasin Limpo. The meeting was conducted by Firli Bahuri to secure SYL from the corruption case being handled by the anti-corruption agency's enforcement team."

"Stating that Mr. Firli Bahuri has been officially and convincingly found guilty of violating the code of ethics, namely engaging in direct or indirect relationships with Syahrul Yasin Limpo whose case is being handled by the KPK, without informing other leaders suspected of causing conflicts of interest and failing to demonstrate exemplary behavior in daily life," said Chairman of the Ethics Council, Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean. Tumpak mentioned that Firli Bahuri has violated Article 4 paragraph 2 letter a or Article 4 paragraph 1 letter j and Article 8 paragraph e of the KPK Supervisory Board Regulation Number 3 of 2021."
