JAKARTA - The National Police has confirmed that Inspector General Ferdy Sambo's resignation letter will not affect the trial process of the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP). Resignation is the individual right of Bhayangkara Corps members.

"There is no (influence of the resignation letter), the context is different," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Thursday, August 25.

Sambo as a member of the National Police has the right to resign. However, the code of ethics trial process must continue to prove the alleged unprofessionalism in the case of Brigadier J.

"The implementation of this code of ethics trial proves the unprofessionalism concerned in carrying out police duties," said Dedi.

Originally, Kapori General Listyo Sigit Prabowo confirmed this. Because, Ferdy Sambo has sent a letter of resignation.

"Yes, there is a letter (the resignation of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, ed)," said Sigit.

However, Sigit stated that the existence of the letter did not mean that Ferdy Sambo would automatically no longer be part of the National Police. Because, there are rules in the resignation process.

Moreover, the Police are also considering the resignation.

"But it is being calculated by the trial team because there are indeed rules," said Sigit.

The ethics trial of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo was held at the TNCC Building, Police Headquarters. Inspector General Ferdy Sambo is a suspect in the premeditated murder case against Brigadier Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J.
