JAKARTA - Director of General Criminal Investigation (Dirkrimum) Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Hengki Haryadi responded to Rosario de Marshal alias Hercules who had insulted and challenged him. Not emotionally, Hengki actually forgiven Hercules.

"As religious people, if people apologize, we will forgive them," said Hengki to reporters, Friday, June 9.

Hengki assessed that Hercules had had good intentions by immediately apologizing for not long the video that challenged him went viral on social media.

However, Hengki said legal action would be carried out for all parties who violated the rules, including Hercules.

"But if you make something wrong, there's no reason," he said.

After stating that he had forgiven Hercules, Hengki touched on the phenomenon of thuggery, especially in Jakarta. It is said that thugs often intimidate all of their opponents to be free from crime.

Dismissed, there were victims who made police reports (LP) related to thuggery. However, these perpetrators actually intimidated the purpose of withdrawing the LP.

With no reports, the police cannot take action. Thus, they are free from criminal snares.

"Basically, we take action against thuggery. The first is public unrest. There is such a thing as a silent sound phenomenon, silent voices, sometimes these victims become victims, they are also afraid to report it from the past like that and this phenomenon we also find in the regions," he said.

"Sometimes he withdraws his report, he is intimidated, this is the hallmark of the excessive thuggery, this is what creates his name fear of crime, unrest, so that's specific to thuggery," continued Hengki.

However, Hengki emphasized that the National Police, especially Polda Metro Jaya, would eradicate acts of thuggery. This is because public security and safety are the highest laws.

"The point is that the state must not lose to acts of thuggery. There should be no particular group, whatever it is, which moves above the law if what they hinder or fight against officers in carrying out their duties is that we fight the more we hit, there is no story. The authorities should not be afraid of threats," said Hengki.

Meanwhile, Hercules, who is the general chairman of the United Indonesia People's Movement (GRIB) Jaya, had challenged Kombes Hengki because he wanted to arrest him for promotion.

"A Kombes Hengki Haryadi, yes. I'm not afraid of him. Tell him, who is Hengki Haryadi, my member is 1,000,400," Hercules said in a speech at the Gerindra Party gathering with GRIB Jaya, Saturday, June 3, 2023.

"I heard yesterday that Hengki threatened me, you little Hengki Haryadi," concluded Hercules.

Later, Hercules apologized to Hengki for his statement. Rosario de Marshal said that there was a misunderstanding regarding the information he received. So his words that offended Kombes Hengko were a form of spontaneity.

"I apologize profusely to Mr. Hengki for yesterday's misunderstanding. Until my event there was spontaneity, beyond awareness, I issued words that were not good," Hercules said.
