JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)’s move to seek allegations of corruption in organizing the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta has been criticized.
Criminal Law expert Margarito Thursday assessed that the basic thing in uncovering a case is the existence of a criminal element. Not looking for alleged criminal elements in a case.
According to him, if this is carried out by law enforcement, all activities will be sought for supporting evidence to conclude that the activity contains an alleged criminal act.
“So every investigative action begins with the assumption that the crime already exists, not just being sought,” said Margarito, Friday (12/11/2021). Quoted from Between.

Margarito added that in investigating a legal event, it should be initiated that the incident already has a criminal aspect. After that, look for evidence to strengthen the criminal element in question.
According to him, the steps taken by the KPK, which are still looking for alleged criminal acts, will make all events have a criminal element.
“If you want to investigate a legal event, in your head the incident must already have a criminal aspect, you just need to obtain evidence to confirm that it is a criminal event, not looking for evidence to find that it is a criminal event, so this is the KPK’s way of thinking is very reversed. , this is very wrong,” said Margarito.
Furthermore, Margarito suggested that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stop the investigation of the alleged case in the implementation of the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta.
