Old Hoaxes Of Ratna Sarumpaet Revealed When Fadli Zon Sarumpaet Police Do Not Work To Arrest Munarman

JAKARTA - Politician Gerindra Fadli Zon does not believe that Munarman, former general secretary of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), is accused of being involved or associated with a terrorist group.

This was revealed by Fadli in a tweet on his Twitter account, @fadlizon, quoted on Wednesday, April 28. "I know Munarman well and I do not believe this terrorist accusation. It's really far-fetched and lacks work," said the member Indonesia Parliament of Commission I.

To Fadli's tweet, social media activist Denny Siregar responded and gave a deadly insinuation. For Denny, Fadli's tweets were not much different from the hoax of persecution of Ratna Sarumpaet that she had defended.

"Dude @fadlizon. You also used to know Ratna Sarumpaet well and believed she was beaten by people ..." said Denny via Twitter @Dennysiregar7 quoted Wednesday, April 28.

The news about Ratna's persecution caused an uproar in the local community. She admitted that she was beaten by an unknown person in Bandung until her face was swollen and bruised.

Later, after the police intervened, it was discovered that the wounds on Ratna's face were not the result of abuse but were from liposuction surgery. Ratna then apologized to the public as well as Presidential Candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto, who was consumed by her hoax.

Regarding the alleged terrorism, the police arrested Munarman at Modern Hills Housing, Cinangka, Pamulang, South Tangerang on Tuesday, April 27 at around 15.30 WIB.

He is suspected of mobilizing other people to commit criminal acts of terrorism, having bad consensus to commit crimes of terrorism and withholding information about criminal acts of terrorism.

For information, after arresting Munarman, the Densus 88 Team also conducted a search at the former FPI banned mass organization office in Petamburan, Central Jakarta.

During the search, the team found the explosive raw materials for TATP or triacetone triperoxide, acetone and nitrates.

Currently Munarman is 'staying' at the Jakarta Metro Police Detention Center. He arrived last night blindfolded and handcuffed.

Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan, confirmed that Munarman was arrested on suspicion of being connected to a number of acts of terrorism.

"The arrests are related to the alleged involvement of M, namely related to acts of terrorism that occurred some time ago", said Kombes Ramadhan.

Ahmad Ramadhan said Munarman would be detained at the Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Detention Center for an intensive examination.
