JAKARTA - Head of South Jakarta Police Criminal Investigation Unit AKBP Andi Sanjaya Ghalib has been rotated to become Koorgadik of the Polda Metro Jaya State Police School (SPN). This rotation is related to extortion related to the case he is handling.

The case in question is land destruction which was reported by the reporter on behalf of Budianto in March 2018. In this case, the police have named two suspects, namely, MY and S.

South Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Bastoni Purnama said Andi and several investigators who handled the case had already been investigated in the Procession and Security (Propam) Division of Polda Metro Jaya. The result is still in their study.

"It (Andi Sinjaya's investigation), including the members of the investigator who handled the case, have been asked (for information)," said Bastoni in Jakarta, Monday, January 13.

The case of vandalism handled by Andi has reached the first delegation stage, namely the case file. However, the second handover, namely the two suspects in the case, has not yet been carried out. This is because the suspects are not known to be where they are.

"It's finished, P21 is just waiting for stage 2 to hand over the suspect. However, how many times have the investigators summoned (the two suspects) to not come and then arrest the suspect's house. Until now, he hasn't been able to," Bastoni said.

Separately, Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said Andi's rotation was carried out as an effort to refresh and was not related to the extortion case. "Not removed, yes, but an ordinary transfer," said Yusri.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Presidum of IPW, Neta S Pane, in a written statement said that there were investigators from the South Jakarta Metro Police who carried out extortion worth Rp1 billion. Although he did not mention the identity of the person, it was just that his statement seemed to refer to AKBP Andi Sinjaya Ghalib.

In his statement, it was stated that the person had been transferred to an educational institution. The rotating person is included in the Telegram (ST) Letter Number ST / 13 / I / KEP / .2020 dated January 8, 2020, signed by Karo SDM Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Mardiyono.

The suspicion of extortion was directed at Andi Sinjaya Ghalib because the notification of his rotation was printed on a telegram which had a number in accordance with the statement from IPW. Moreover, the former Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the South Jakarta Metro Police was transferred to the position of Koorgadik of the Polda Metro Jaya State Police School (SPN).

"The dismissal of the South Jakarta Police investigator was stated in letter No: ST / 13 / I / 2020 dated January 8, 2020 and the person concerned was transferred to an educational institution," said Neta.
