For Mahfud MD, The Case Of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo Is Like Giving Birth, The National Police Chief Has Succeeded In Giving Birth To A Suspect By Cesarean Section

JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD made an analogy that the disclosure of the shooting case of Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J was like dealing with pregnant people with difficult births. Special treatment is needed to carry out the investigation.

"This case is a bit special, like the case of people dealing with pregnant people who want to give birth, but it's difficult to give birth," Mahfud said in a press conference broadcast on the YouTube of the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Tuesday, August 9.

Because of the difficulty, Mahfud even said that the disclosure of the suspect behind this shooting case had to go through a 'cesarean operation'. Until finally, the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo had to release the baby that the public was waiting for, namely, naming Inspector General Ferdy Sambo as a suspect.

"The baby in the criminal case is Ferdy Sambo as a suspect in the scenario case and ordered the murder, possibly premeditated," he said.

Therefore, the government appreciates the steps taken by the National Police, especially the National Police Chief and the team who have seriously investigated and opened this case. "Especially in how to find the main perpetrators who people or suspected people used to have doubts about," said Mahfud.

"Profociat for Mr. Listyo Sigit and the team of generals with 3, 2, 1 stars and so on down," he continued.

Mahfud wants the Police to seriously listen to the input and aspirations of the community in investigating this shooting case. Settlement must be done openly.

"Polri is the biological child of the republic who truly listens to public input and aspirations. Therefore, the government hopes that the resolution of cases in a firm, open and indiscriminate manner can continue to be a part of efforts to build a clean and trustworthy Polri institution as the vision and slogan Precise Police," he said.

As previously reported, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo was named a suspect in the murder case of Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J. The appointment of a new suspect in this case was announced directly by the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"Timsus has named brother FS as a suspect," said Sigit at a press conference at the National Police Headquarters, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 9.

Sigit revealed the role of Ferdy Sambo in the shooting case against Brigadier J at his halfway house on July 8. The former Head of the National Police Propam Division allegedly ordered Bharada Richard Eliezer (Bharada E) to kill Brigadier J.

Inspector General Ferdy Sambo is also suspected of devising a scenario as if Brigadier J was killed in a shootout. However, regarding the motive for the murder, the National Police Chief said his party was still investigating.

Besides Ferdy Sambo, the National Police Chief has also named another new suspect with the initials KM. However, Listyo has not explained about KM.

With the stipulation of Ferdy Sambo and KM, there are a total of four suspects in the case of Brigadier J's murder, namely Bharada Eliezer (E), Brigadier Ricky Rizal (RR), Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, and KM.

All suspects were charged with Article 340, subsidiary to Article 338 in conjunction with Article 55 in conjunction with Article 56 of the Criminal Code and threatened with the maximum penalty, namely the death penalty.
