JAKARTA: Anti-Corruption Commission (KPK) efforts to seek evidence related to the motorcycle and car steering simulator procurement at the Traffic Corps (Korlantas) Police Headquarter in 2011 fiscal year are still hampered by problems as several evidences that should be taken by the commission stuck in Korlantas room guarded by Police Headquarter.
KPK Chairman Abraham Samad and Bambang Widjojanto met with National Police Chief General Timur Pradopo. Johan said that the Commission wanted to take the evidence for further investigation.
Johan didn’t know the reason why Korlantas still hold the evidence. "I don’t know the reason why the Criminal Investigation disallow KPK to take the evidence," he said.
While at 14.00 Jakarta time, the last investigation team coming out of Korlantas building without didn’t carry the evidence. According to Johan, the meeting between the leaders and the Chief of Police was a part of the search.
KPK has been dealing with the case since January 2012 and now it has risen to the investigation level. In Act No. 30 of 2012 on Anti-Corruption Commission, when a corruption case handled by KPK is in investigation process, the others must stop.
Although the police are dealing with similar cases, KPK act cannot delegate this case because it has been into the investigation level. The confiscated goods seized by the Commission are documents.
