Alvin Lim Calls Bharada E Never Detained In Salemba Prison, This Is The Fact

JAKARTA - Advocate Alvin Lim said that Richard Totaling Pudihang Lumiu alias Bharada E had never languished in the Salemba Correctional Institution (Lapas) after being found guilty of premeditated murder of Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J.

He made this statement when he was invited to the Dr. Richard Lee podcast which aired on YouTube on Wednesday, January 3.

"Eliezer just came with the name there (Sattleba Prison) after the photos were sent back to Headquarters. He wasn't there, just let him get his name," said Alvin Lim.

However, when referring to the facts that occurred, Bharada E was indeed executed at the Salemba Prison on February 27. Ferdy Sambo's former aide was in prison for several hours.

However, for certain reasons, Bharada E was entrusted to the Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Rutan).

"Furthermore, as of today, the inmates of the Salemba Class II Prison on behalf of Richard totaling the crime at the Criminal Investigation Unit," said the Public Relations and Protocol Coordinator of the Directorate General of Corrections at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which at that time was held by Rika Aprianti, Monday, February 27.

Even though it was entrusted, the Directorate General of PAS continued to supervise Bharada E during his criminal period according to the verdict of the panel of judges.

"With the supervision or assistance of LPSK and we will continue to communicate because the status is indeed entrusted," he continued.

The transfer of Bharada E's detention at that time was based on recommendations from the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK).

"Based on the application or LPSK recommendations addressed to the Directorate General of Corrections, the Director General of Disposition to the regional office related to the evacuation of Totaling to serve a sentence at the Bareskrim Detention Center," said Rika.

Deputy Chairman of LPSK Susilaningtias explained the reasons behind the recommendations for the detention place for Bharada E. One of the reasons is due to security concerns in prisons.

"The consideration is about security. We are considering Richard Total safety," said Susi.

According to him, the Salemba Class IIA Prison is filled with many inmates or convicts. The potential threat of Bharada E's safety is getting bigger.

On the other hand, for the Criminal Investigation Unit, the number of inmates is far less. Thus, it is considered safer.

"Because in prison there are more people (inmates, ed) and the potential for threats is greater. So we have to protect him's safety," he said.

"Meanwhile, there are fewer people in the Criminal Investigation Unit, so we can monitor their safety," continued Susi.

On a different occasion, the Head of the Detention and Evidence Section or Tahti Bareskrim Polri, Kombes Gatot Agus Budi Utomo said that the transfer of Bharada E from the Salemba Prison to the Bareskrim Detention Center was in accordance with the rules.

"It is in accordance with the provisions. It was entrusted by the Salemba Rutan to the Criminal Investigation Unit for security reasons," said Gatot.

Moreover, the Criminal Investigation Unit is still part of the Salemba Prison. That way, there will be no violations behind the detention of Bharada E.

"Rutan Bareskrim is a branch of the Salemba detention center," said Gatot
