Golkar Politician Suspect Azis Samual Still Denies Being Involved In Beating Up The KNPI President

JAKARTA - Until now, Golkar politician Azis Samual has not admitted to being involved in the case of beating the General Chair of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (KNPI) Haris Pertama. Azis Samual has been named a suspect for five days.

"Azis Samual has not made any progress yet. He is still silent," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Monday, March 7.

Although he did not confess, Zulpan stated that investigators had sufficient evidence. So, Azis Samual's rebuttal will be meaningless to investigators.

"It means he did not mention other names, we have evidence of his connection and involvement although he denies," Zulpan said.

Regarding the alleged existence of another party who gave orders to Azis Samual, Zulpan could not confirm it. This is because the politicians still kept their mouths shut during the examination.

"We focus on his involvement in ordering the actions of the other executioners," said Zulpan.

Previously, Polda Metro Jaya named Golkar politician Azis Samual as a suspect in the case of beating the chairman of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (KNPI), Haris Pertama. The determination of the suspect is based on the results of the examination and the title of the case, on March 2.

"The results of the investigator's examination have determined AS (Azis Samual, ed) as a suspect," said Zulpan

The involvement of Azis Samual in this case is known based on the statements of other suspects who have been arrested. So, an examination was carried out and finally determined him as a suspect.

"The results of the examination of the five people (suspects, ed) then developed into the summons of the US," said Zulpan.
