JAKARTA - The police continue to investigate the abortion clinic which is located at Jalan Percetakan Negara III, Central Jakarta. The clinic was in operation 18 years ago.

"The LA manager admitted that he opened it from 2002 to 2004, then closed it," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Thursday, September 24.

However, it was not explained why the illegal abortion clinic was closed. However, the clinic was operational again in 2017, located on Jalan Percetakan Negara III, Central Jakarta.

"The place (clinic) is in a rented house, we don't know the place (the old one)," he said.

In addition, the suspects in this case are not recidivists either. It is possible that the abortion clinic closed in 2004 not because of police action.

"They have never been caught and they are old, some are new recruits," said Yusri.

In the case of the abortion clinic at Jalan Percetakan Negara III, there were 10 suspects. One person is a doctor, the other person owns the clinic.

The suspects include the initials, LA (52), DK (30), NA (30), MM (38), YA (51), RA (52), LL (50), ED (28), SM (62 ), and RS (25). The suspects are subject to Article 346 of the Criminal Code and / or Article 348 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code and / or Article 194 in conjunction with Article 75 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health with a maximum threat of 10 years and a maximum fine of Rp. 1 billion.
