TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Criminalization against leaders at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is getting more intense.

Deputy Chief of the National Police Commissioner General Badrodin Haiti said that non-active KPK Chairman Abraham Samad had been named as a suspect in the case of misuse of authority.

“We’ve named him as a suspect since last week,” Badrodin said on Friday, 27 February 2015.

Abraham Samad was reported by Yusuf Sahide, who claimed to be the Executive Director of KPK Watch.

Samad was accused of misusing his authority as he pledged to help Emir Moeis, politician of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), who was a graft suspect. Emir himself was implicated the graft case connected to the construction project of the steam-powered plant in Tarahan, Lampung.

Yusuf made the accusation in a writing entitled Rumah Kaca (Glass House) published on Kompasiana.  Afterwards, PDIP Acting Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto revealed Samad’s promise. According to Hasto, Samad made the promise when he met with several PDIP politicians to discuss vice presidents candidates to be the running mate of Joko Widodo.

However, Badrodin said the National Police Criminal Investigation Directorate (Bareskrim) is currently still focusing on the forgery case.

As previously reported, Samad was already named a suspect in a document forgery case relating to identification documents.

In the meantime, Samad’s lawyer Alvon Kurnia Palma questioned the movie of the police in naming his client as a suspect.

“If such a writing can become an evidence, then there will be new suspects,” Alvon said.

However, he has yet to ensure legal steps that Samad will take.
