Jakarta – Polda Metro Jaya has started an investigation into reports of leaks of KPK documents in the investigation into alleged corruption at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. It is very likely that KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri, who is one of the reported persons in this case, will also be questioned by Metro Police investigators.
Kapolda Metro Jaya Inspector General Pol Karyoto said, the case of the leak of KPK documents has gone up to the investigation stage because it fulfills a criminal element.
“Indeed, after the initial investigation, several parties clarified. We have indeed found a criminal incident,” Kapolda Karyoto told reporters at Polda Metro Jaya, Jakarta, Tuesday, (20/6).
“That means it doesn’t rule out the police’s opportunity to question KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri?” asked the reporter to Kapolda Karyoto.
“Later we will see in the future (possibly opening up opportunities to examine the KPK Chairman,” said the Kapolda Karyoto.
So far, said Kapolda Karyoto, his party is still collecting witnesses and documents regarding the data leak report. Even so, he did not reveal the details of the witnesses who have been or will be examined in this case.
“Later, maybe in the future when we have obtained complete witnesses, we will also step on to the next phase,” he explained.
Kapolda Karyoto said that his party did find a criminal element so that the case went to the investigation stage. He also said the report on the leakage of KPK documents had met the elements of a crime after obtaining evidence.
“What is the evidence, that there is information that we got which turned out to be still in the process of being investigated at the KPK. There are parties who are being targeted from the investigation,” he explained.
Other evidence, said Kapolda Karyoto, was that documents that were supposed to be secret were leaked and made known to the public.
“This means that items that were previously confidential become non-secret when they are held by the party who is the object of investigation,” he added.
Metro Jaya related to the alleged document leak. One of the reporters, namely the Indonesian Law Enforcement and Monitoring Institute (LP3HI), admitted that he received information that since June 13 2023 this case had gone up to investigation.
“I received this information (the case is being investigated) when I was summoned by the regional police investigators last Tuesday, (13/6),” said LP3HI deputy chairman Kurniawan Adi Nugroho who was one of the case reporters when confirmed, Monday, (19/6) yesterday.
Nugroho said that when he was questioned he was told by investigators that the report on the alleged leak of KPK data was made into one file. Because, there are 16 reports of the same.
“During the inspection, I was told that out of 16 reports, because the substance of the reports was the same, they were put together into one file,” he stated. Bembo
