Dream - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri has been named a suspect in a case of alleged extortion against former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL). The designation as a suspect does not make Deputy Chairman of the KPK Alexander Marwata feel ashamed. According to Alex, his nickname, he expressed this attitude because he respects the principle of presumption of innocence in the case involving his leader.

Alex said, Firli Bahuri's status is still a suspect, not yet convicted and declared guilty. As long as there is no determination of guilt, Alex refers to Firli's statement denying accepting bribes or extortion. "How does society judge? What is the basis of society? That's right. Declare him a suspect? Okay, but again this is only the initial stage, later, there are still stages of prosecution and evidence in the trial, that's what friends must monitor, follow how this process goes in the Regional Police, it doesn't stop here," said Alex.

"Until this morning, the Ministry of State Secretariat is still waiting for the letter of notification of the suspect's appointment from the Indonesian National Police," said President's Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana. According to him, the appointment of the Acting Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will be processed after the letter appointing Firli Bahuri as a suspect has been received by the Ministry of State Secretariat."
