REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MAKASSAR -- The South Sulawesi Anti Corruption Committee (ACC) considers the decision of the South and West Sulawesi Police to name Chief of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Abraham Samad a suspect is a move to weaken the anti-graft agency.

"We suspect that this is a scenario to weaken the KPK as an anti-graft agency," ACC Director Abdul Muthalib said here, Tuesday.

He believed that the police is retaliating the KPK's move that earlier named national police chief candidate Budi Gunawan a suspect.

"We know that it's clearly a scenario to destroy the KPK. We are of the view that all allegations and suspicions against him (Samad) are not true, because it is a criminalization move," he added.

The ACC has set up a legal team to defend the KPK which has become a target of destruction, he noted.

The South and West Sulawesi Police named Samad a suspect for including a woman named Feriyani Lim in his Family Card (KK) and helped her to get an Identity Card (KTP) using his address, for the purpose of making a passport for Lim in 2007.
