Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) submitted a pretrial to the South Jakarta District Court (PN).
The application is registered with case number: 114/Pid.Pra/2023/PN JKT.SEL. Case classification is whether the determination of a suspect is valid or not.
“Applicant: Syahrul Yasin Limpo. Respondent: Corruption Eradication Commission of the Republic of Indonesia,” said South Jakarta District Court Public Relations Officer Djuyamto when confirmed via written message, Wednesday (11/10).
The South Jakarta District Court’s SIPP page does not yet contain information regarding the pretrial application.
This case will be tried by single judge Alimin Ribut Sujono. The first trial will take place on Monday, October 30 2023.
Syahrul’s legal team, Febri Dianysah and Erwin Lubis have not responded to confirmation CNNIndonesia.com regarding the pretrial application.
The KPK has reportedly named three people as suspects in a suspected corruption case within the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan). They are SYL, Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery at the Ministry of Agriculture, Muhammad Hatta, and Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Kasdi Subagyono.
The anti-corruption agency uses articles on extortion, gratification and money laundering in the legal process at the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture.
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD has also revealed Syahrul’s suspect status. However, he was reluctant to reveal details regarding the status of Syahrul, who is also known as a NasDem politician.
“That he is a suspect, yes, I have received the information. In fact, since the exposure, I have known the suspect for a long time, but officially the suspect has been released,” said Mahfud at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Wednesday (4/10) afternoon.
In the process of this investigation, the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) has searched the SYL minister’s official residence on Jalan Widya Chandra, Central Jakarta and the Ministry of Agriculture’s office in South Jakarta some time ago. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) secured a number of pieces of evidence allegedly related to the case, such as Rp. 30 billion in cash and documents containing money flows.
SYL’s residence on Jalan Pelita Raya, Makassar, has also been searched. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated a car suspected of being related to the case in this coercive effort.
Apart from that, SYL and a number of other parties including his wife, children and grandchildren have been prevented by the KPK from traveling abroad for six months until April 2024.
