Soekarno Hatta Airport Loses IDR16 Million By Rizieq Shihab Investigators, Benches To Damaged Plants

JAKARTA - Senior Manager Of Aviation Security of Soekarno Hatta Airport, Oka Setiawan said he suffered a loss of IDR16 million due to investigators who gathered to pick up Rizeq Shihab.

The loss was based on the calculation of the number of chairs and damaged plants.

The revelation of the losses resulting from the series of arrivals of Rizieq Shihab, began when the public prosecutor (JPU) questioned the process of the arrival of the former High Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).

"What time does the defendant arrive?", asked the prosecutor during a hearing at the East Jakarta District Court on Monday, April 12.

"Approximately at 08.00 WIB, morning", replied Oka.

Later, prosecutors questioned whether or not the damage was caused by the crowd of Rizieq Shihab sympathizers. Oka then minimized it and mentioned the damage done to the seats and plants in terminal 3 of Soekarno Hatta Airport.

"There is a park next to the road, there are broken chairs maybe because of riding or something. So the damage was on plants and chairs", said Oka.

In fact, Oka mentioned that the total loss reached IDR16 million.

"How much damage did I do?", the prosecutor asked.

"Yesterday it was approximately about IDR16 million. It consists of plants, there are passenger seats and a terrace", said Oka.

Rizieq Shihab was accused of sedition until the appearance of the crowd at his daughter's wedding as well as the commemoration of the Prophet's Birthday in Petamburan, Central Jakarta. This crowd occurred in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

"Who ordered to do and who participated in doing the act in public with oral or written instigating to commit criminal acts of health quarantine as Article 93 Of Law No. 6 of 2018 on Health Quarantine, committing violence against the general authorities or not complying with both the law and the order of office given based on the provisions of the Law", said the prosecutor read the indictment.

The sedition until the appearance of the crowd in Petamburan according to the prosecutor conducted Rizieq Shihab along with Haris Ubaidillah, Ahmad Sabri Lubis, Ali Alwi Alatas, Idrus aka Idrus Al Habsyi, and Maman Suryadi.
