JAKARTA - The police arrested Axel Djody Gondokusumo, Ayu Azhari's son, last December 28. The arrest was made in connection with Axel's involvement in the sale and purchase of firearms with Abdul Malik, 'The Lamborghini Cowboy'.

Previously, Axel's role in the case had not been clearly revealed. However, now the police have revealed that the son of an old Indonesian artist, the result of his marriage to metal band vocalist Djody Gondokusumo, was the intermediary for this illegal activity.

South Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Bastoni Purnama said, from the results of the investigation, Axel's role as an intermediary was because he knew Abdul Malik and the previous gun owner, a man with the initials M.

At that time, M, who is now a police fugitive, asked Axel to find someone who would buy his firearm. Then Axel offered the weapon to Abdul Malik 'The Lamborghini Cowboy'.

"Because M has items, he keeps asking who the buyer is, then ADG knows AM. AM also wants a hobby of collecting as well as a hobby of hunting too," said Bastoni in Jakarta, Thursday, January 9.

As an intermediary, of course Axel benefits. From the sale of two firearms of the M16 and M4 types, Ayu Azhari's son pocketed Rp. 8 million. However, it was not explained in detail how many times Axel had been involved in the illegal trade.

It's just that, it was said, the relationship between Axel and the two suspects in the illegal firearms sale; Muhammad Setiawan Arifin and Yunarko with M, the owner of illegal firearms, were just friends.

Furthermore, it was conveyed regarding the figure of M, he was a recidivist. It's just that, Bastoni did not tell what case had dragged the fugitive to the detention cell.

While the matter of the pursuit process was emphasized, currently members in the field are still looking for his whereabouts. This is because the figure of M is no longer found at his residence. In fact, in an attempt to arrest him, investigators have sent a letter of request to ban the fugitive from abroad.

"We don't have it in his residence, we've been looking for it," said Bastoni.

As previously reported, Axel Djody Gondokusumo was involved in the illegal firearms trade with Abdul Malik. This was revealed after the policy developed.

From the examination of Abdul Malik, he admitted that two of his firearms - the M16 and M4 types - were purchased from Axel. He was made a suspect in this case.

However, Axel is not alone in running this business. He collaborated with Muhammad Setiawan Arifin and Yunarko who have also been named suspects. They sold two firearms to Abdul Malik for nearly hundreds of millions of rupiah.
