East Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Erwin Kurniawan, when confirmed, confirmed the recording in the video. However, that is not the case today but an old record from 2012-2015.
"It looks like an old video. The American gang disbanded for a long time," said Erwin, as reported by Antara, Saturday, May 1. Erwin Kurniawan said that his party had yet to receive reports from the public regarding the actions of the American motorcycle gang.
"There are no reports because it is already disbanded," he said.
