Desty Luthfiani, Jakarta – The Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto on Tuesday called for accountability after multiple criminal reports were filed to the police on an alleged leak of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigation documents.

"We consider this case has grabbed the public's attention due to the number of reports that were submitted," said Karyoto on June 20, who also announced a special task force to handle this case.

The Law Enforcement Monitoring Institute (LP3HI) reported the alleged leak of KPK documents to Metro JayaPolice earlier in April. The report was made in connection with the alleged leak of documents investigating a corruption case in the mining sector at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

The subject in the police report is KPK chairman Firli Bahuri. LP3HI is one of a number of parties that made a similar report to Metro Jaya Police.

"Last Monday I was summoned by the Directorate of General Crimes for the state security section," said Deputy Chairman LP3HI Kurniawan Adi Nugroho when contacted on Saturday, June 17

He then recalled that he was summoned in relation to his report on the alleged document leak and his knowledge about the alleged leak, suggesting that the case has entered the initial investigation phase. Nugroho also said he was questioned for the possible act of revealing state secrets and meeting with parties that could potentially be named a suspect.

Police inspector Karyoto could not confirm whether investigators would confront the two parties in question. However, he asserted that investigators did not rule out the possibility of summoning KPK chairman Firli Bahuri for questioning.

The alleged leak emerged from a video recording of a search by KPK investigators and investigators at the headquarters of the Director General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources official Idris Froyoto Sihite on March 27, 2023.

During the search, investigators found investigative documents that resembled the ESDM corruption crime report.

Video of this search eventually made its way to social media. Idris Fyoto Sihite confirmed the document findings. He allegedly stated that the documents were obtained by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif from the antigraft agency's chairman Firli Bahuri.

KPK has denied any alleged document leak but continues to encourage the public to file criminal reports about the matter if valid pieces of evidence are discovered.
