JAKARTA - The National Police have spoken about the issue of Raden Brotoseno returning to duty in the Bhyangkara Corps. He is said to have not been fired as a member of the National Police even though the corruption case that has ensnared him has been resolved.

"As far as I know he has been tried but there has been no dismissal," said As HR Police Inspector General Wahyu Widada to reporters, Monday, May 30.

That way, Raden Brotoseno's status is still a member of the National Police.

However, Wahyu could not confirm when he was asked about the time of the professional ethics trial against Raden Brotoseno, who holds the rank of AKBP.

"So he is still a member of the National Police. What I know is that he was not fired," said Wahyu.

Raden Brotoseno is widely mentioned as returning to work in the National Police. Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) also wrote to the Bhayangkara Corps regarding the allegations.

Brotoseno's return to duty is questionable because the former KPK investigator is a recidivist in a corruption case.

Brotoseno was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 300 million for the corruption case of rice field printing in Ketapang, West Kalimantan.

With this decision, Raden Brotoseno has been in detention since 2017. Until finally, he was released on parole since February 2020, and was released purely at the end of September 2020. He was released early because he received a parole program. Raden Brotoseno received a remission of 13 months 25 days.
