Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officials met with police deputy chief detective Insp. Gen. Dikdik Mulyana Arif Mansyur on Tuesday to coordinate the criminal case against Anggodo Widjojo, the key figure in an alleged conspiracy to implicate KPK deputies in a bribery case.

“Pak Dikdik and [police] officers met with [KPK] deputy for enforcement Ade Rahardja and investigation director Suhaedi Husein to coordinate the case against Anggodo,” KPK spokesman Johan Budi told reporters.

He said it was the first of many meetings between the KPK and the police to discuss the matter. The meeting lasted about an hour.

“We will discuss what cases KPK can tackle and what cases should be handled by the police
detective division. We will only handle those related to corruption,” Johan said.

However, to date the police were yet to hand over Anggodo’s dossier to the KPK.

Separately Dikdik said, “If we found evidence that led to crimes associated with graft then we would hand over the [file] to KPK investigators to be further examined, we would continue investigating other crimes in the case”.

National Police Spokesman Insp. Gen. Nanan Sukarna said earlier that Anggodo could be accused of committing at least six crimes, including defamation, extortion, attempted bribery and threatening and insulting public officials and institutions.

Anggodo, brother of corruption fugitive Anggoro Widjojo, has been suspected of those crimes since recorded conversations between him and several high ranking officers from the police and the AGO, revealing a plot to frame two KPK deputy chairmen, were played at the Constitutional Court recently.

The two deputies, Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M. Hamzah, have been suspended from their positions since being named suspects of alleged power abuse, bribery and extortion of Anggoro in attempts to halt the investigation into a case implicating Anggoro’s company PT Masaro Radiokom.

The case has been in the limelight for the last few months due to the police’s failure to present solid evidence to support the allegations against the two deputies.

In response to mounting public protest, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono established a fact-finding team to investigate the charges against Bibit and Chandra.

The team later recommended that the President should drop the charges due to a lack of evidence, as well as reform the police and the AGO due to the involvement of senior officials National Police chief detective Comr. Gen Susno Duadji and Deputy Attorney General Abdul Hakim Ritonga.
