JAKARTA - The Special Detachment (Densus) 88 Anti-terror Police conducted monitoring of five people who were sanctioned by the United States and referred to as ISIS financial facilitator networks in Indonesia, Syria and Turkey.

Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo said the police had obtained the identities of the five people. Two of them have been prosecuted in Indonesia by the National Police's Anti-terror Detachment 88.

"There are two people who are being processed legally in Indonesia by Densus 88," said Dedi to reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday, May 11, quoted from Antara.

The two people, namely Ari Kardian, have been released in connection with the case of facilitating the sending of people to Syria.

"Ari has been prosecuted twice, the first and second sentences were for 3 years," said Dedi.

Then, in 2019 Rudi Heriadi was sentenced to 3.5 years, and was only released due to deportation from Syria.

Two other people, women named Dwi Dahlia Susanti and Dini Ramadani, said Dedi, are believed to be in Syria.

"These two women are strongly believed to be currently in Syria (Syria), it is known from their travel documents," said Dedi.

For another person, continued Dedi, named Muhammad Dandi Adiguna, information was obtained that he was in Syria.

"Based on his father's information, Muhammad Dandi Adiguna is already abroad, maybe in Syria," said Dedi.

Dedi added that the National Police Anti-terror Detachment 88, which has an owl logo, has monitored the five people.

Especially for those who are abroad, the National Police's NCB Hubinter cooperates with Interpol abroad where the facilitator is suspected of staying.

"Densus has carried out continuous monitoring of the 5 Indonesian citizens. In particular, those suspected of still being abroad will be communicated between NCB Hubinter and Interpol in the countries suspected of being the Indonesian citizens," said Dedi.

Meanwhile, the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) already knows the profiles of these 5 people who are indeed involved in the ISIS FTF network.

As previously reported, the United States on Monday (10/5) imposed sanctions on five people they described as ISIS financial facilitators network operating in Indonesia, Syria and Turkey to support the militia in Syria.

The US Treasury Department in its statement accused the five of playing a role in facilitating the passage of ISIS members to Syria and their other areas of operation, and of sending funds to support the militia's activities in Syrian refugee camps.
