he Anti Corruption Network (JAK) Yogyakarta told the public and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to focus on the substance of corruption in the beef import case and not on accompanying matters such as the involvement of some women and confiscation of suspects' belongings.
"Otherwise we will forget the main problem, which is corruption," Zainal Arifin Mochtar, a researcher of Gadjah Mada University's Center for Anti-Corruption Studies (PUKAT) said, Wednesday.
JAK is a coalition comprising a number of organizations and institutions including PUKAT UGM, the Yogyakarta Women Network (JPY), the Indonesia Court Monitoring (ICM), IDEA and the Indonesian Islamic University's Center for Human Rights Studies (Pusham).
Zainal said there were indications that the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), whose executives were allegedly involved in the corruption case, tried to blur the case by reporting KPK investigators and spokesman to the police.
JAK Yogyakarta also reminded PKS to stop politicizing the corruption case.
In its written statement the network as well reminded the police to refer to a circular issued by the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) in response to PKS's report over defamation.
"The circular calls on the police across the country to prioritize the corruption case over reports on defamation filed by parties indicted in the related corruption scandal," Laras Susanti, also of PUKAT UGM, said when reading out the statement on Wednesday.
