TRIBUNNEWS.COM, Jakarta – The Anti-Corruption Commission (KPK) is conducting an investigation into allegations of corruption in the course of conducting Formula E events.
Regarding the investigation, Suparji Ahmad, an observer and a law professor at the University of Al-Azhar in Indonesia, believed the case had not been formalized as an act of corruption.
In the Formula E webinar: Momentum for Economic Recovery, Legal Proceedings, and Political Intrigue towards 2024 (August 10, 2022), he said, “This means there is no legal framework for corrupt criminal activity.”

Suparj also assessed that there was not enough evidence to declare that the Formula E case involved criminal corruption.
“There is not enough evidence. There was no criminal activity,” he said.
Indeed, in the future there will be an option for SP3 or an end investigation command.
However, if there is no suspicion of criminal activity, the case should not have been taken up by law enforcement agencies, in this case KPK, in the first place.
“It’s also impossible to fatally assume that the important things come first and then SP3. “I think that kind of thinking should be abandoned,” he said.
So now he is of the view that the Formula E case should be closed as soon as possible because it looks like an order from a certain party.
Closing this case is expected to restore the dignity of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea as a law enforcement agency, especially on the issue of anti-racism.
“Don’t let KPK become the ordering agent,” said Suparji.

Former KPK Vice-Chairman Saut Situmorang, like Suparji, believes that the KPK must restore dignity in upholding the law as fairly as possible.
He mentioned the nine integrity values of party members of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea: honesty, independence, responsibility, courage, simplicity, consideration, discipline, fairness and hard work.
“(9 points) I don’t know if they’re being treated the way they are,” Saut said.
