JAMBI - The RI Saber Extortion Team is currently examining witnesses in the case of alleged illegal levies that occurred at the Batanghari Police, Jambi.
The head of the Saber Extortion Task Force Komjen Agung Budi Maryoto said the alleged extortion at the Batanghari Police was still being processed. Meanwhile, the handling of the legal case was immediately handed over to the Jambi Regional Police with the provincial-level extortion saber team.
"The one in Batanghari is still in process. Please ask the Kapolda," said Komjen Agung as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, May 24.
However, he continued, nationally, there are quite a lot of cases of saber extortion in total or throughout Indonesia.
In fact, the Saber Extortion Team succeeded in carrying out hand arrest operations (OTT) throughout Indonesia with evidence of approximately Rp. 300 billion.
Komjen Agung also thanked the Jambi Governor who had positively welcomed the Central Extortion Saber Team and had also budgeted for the Jambi Province level saber extortion unit.
"This is so that we can learn from the community, including the state apparatus, so that there are no more illegal levies that are not in accordance with the laws and regulations," he said.
The chairman of the Saber Extortion Task Force hopes that the Jambi Provincial Government through the inspectorate will immediately disseminate Presidential Decree No. 87 of 2016 concerning the Saber Extortion Task Force in districts/cities so that it can be free from illegal levies.
"By clearing extortion, we can advance and grow and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is strong," said Komjen Agung.
