Fact finding team member Todung Mulya Lubis said Tuesday that the police should drop cases against two Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputy chiefs and instead charge Anggodo Widjojo with attempts to bribe the KPK.

Speaking at a discussion aired live by TVOne Tuesday night, Todung said that the damning revelation of telephone conversations between Anggodo with police officers and state prosecutors proved that he was one of case brokers at the Police and the attorney general's office.

Anggodo, the brother of corruption suspect Anggoro Widjojo, later admitted that he had disbursed Rp 5.1 billion of money – the money he got from his brother – to bribe KPK. But the flow of money from Anggodo to KPK deputy chiefs remains mysterious.

"I'm personally offended why a person like Anggodo could trample on our legal system," he said. "Why then the police don't charge him yet? At least, he could be charged with bribery efforts."

"If we are serious about our fighting against case brokers, we have to start it with Anggodo and take actions against anyone involved," he said.

He called on the police to drop bribery cases against KPK deputy chiefs Chandra M. Hamzah and Bibit Samad Rianto as there was many missing links in the flow of the bribe money.

The charges against Chandra and Bibit have sparked public outcry, which prompted President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono established a fact-finding team, which comprises of eight public figures.

Todung said that after investigating the Bibit and Chandra cases in the past week, he learned that the problem of case brokerage has spread to the most-respected anti-graft body, the KPK.

"Case brokers are not only at the police and the attorney general office, but they have entered KPK," said Todung Mulya. "Let's make case brokers as our common enemy."
