Jakarta –
It is a big question mark when KPK documents appear in the proposed pretrial hearing Firli Bahuri regarding his suspect status at Polda Metro Jaya. Where can the inactive KPK chairman get access to documents? KPK?
As is known, Firli Bahuri was temporarily dismissed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on November 24 2023 due to his status as a suspect in cases of alleged extortion and gratification, while also appointing KPK Deputy Chairman Nawawi Pomolango as interim chairman of the KPK. Since then, Firli Bahuri’s access as Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Committee has been cut off.
“Office activities do not need to be carried out by the person concerned (Firli Bahuri) in this office. His arrival in this office is enough for us to treat guests, invitees and so on,” said Nawawi on Monday, November 27 2023.
“Moreover, the Setpim reported to us that the inventory items from the person concerned are still in the room in question. So maybe the day after tomorrow the procedure will be taken by entering from the front. Not with access like yesterday,” added Nawawi.
Firli Bahuri Pretrial
With suspect status, Firli Bahuri fought back. On December 11 2023, the first hearing of Firli Bahuri’s pretrial application was held at the South Jakarta District Court (PN Jaksel). Through this legal process, Firli Bahuri hopes that his suspect status will be revoked and the case will be stopped by Polda Metro Jaya.
The trial took place in which Firli Bahuri was represented by his attorney, while Polda Metro was led by the Head of Legal Division of Polda Metro Jaya, Commissioner Putu Putera Sadana. There was a moment where Firli linked his suspect status at Polda Metro to one of the cases being investigated by the KPK, namely the alleged bribery case of a former official from the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation. What is the relation?
In short, Firli accused Metro Jaya Regional Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto of threatening the KPK leadership if he named a businessman named Muhammad Suryo as a suspect in the bribery case of former DJKA officials. Because, according to Firli, Karyoto has a relationship with Suryo.
Nawawi denied this threat. You can read more in the link below:
From there, documentary evidence emerged which Firli attached to the pre-trial, which was related to the bribery case of a former DJKA official. This document then sparked question marks from Polda Metro Jaya and the public. In a pre-trial hearing on Friday, December 15 2023, the Head of Legal Affairs for Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Putu Putera Sadana, highlighted the origin of the document considering that Firli Bahuri’s access to the KPK had been cut off.
“There are several documents used as evidence and we already have 159 pieces of evidence which will of course be tested at the main case hearing, not pre-trial. However, the applicant (Firli Bahuri) submitted evidence which in our opinion has no correlation with what was being discussed at the pre-trial hearing. “Exhibits P26 to P37,” said Putu.
“I read for example, P26 the attendance list and conclusions and so on regarding OTT DJKA. This is evidence which in our opinion is not linear with what we are discussing because requested “One of the concerns is that the suspect’s determination is invalid,” he continued.
