JAKARTA - Former investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) AKBP Raden Brotoseno was not fired from the National Police despite being proven involved in a corruption case. Brotoseno is now assigned to the Technology, Information and Communications (ICT) Division of the National Police.

"He is now seconded to the DivTIK Polri," said Karo Penmas of the National Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, when confirmed, Thursday, June 2.

However, Brotoseno is no longer an investigator. Instead, just serving as a regular staff.

Regarding when did Brotoseno officially return to the Police, Ramadhan did not want to speak. The reason is that information about the former KPK investigator is still being collected.

"Since when do not know. Later," he said.

Then, when he was asked about Brotoseno's achievements so that he was considered to keep him, Ramadhan was also reluctant to elaborate. He only emphasized that the middle-ranking police officer was indeed accomplished.

"Many achievements," said Ramadhan

For information, Brotoseno is a member of the National Police with the rank of Adjunct Senior Commissioner of Police (AKBP). He had served in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

In the course of his career, Brotoseno stumbled upon a corruption case in rice field printing in Ketapang, West Kalimantan.

Based on the results of the trial at the Corruption Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court in decision number 26 of 2017, Raden Brotoseno was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of IDR 300 million

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.
