YOGYAKARTA The profile of the former Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police Chief Kombes Edwin Hatorangan Hariandja is interesting to hear after he was fired from the police for being unprofessional and abusing his authority.

Edwin received money from the Airport Police Narcotics Head, where the money came from evidence of a drug case amounting to 225 thousand US dollars and 376 thousand Singapore dollars. Edwin used the money for personal gain.

"Kombes Edwin is also suspected of receiving money from the Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit originating from evidence confiscated from the handling of the case," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo in his statement, Wednesday, August 31.

Kombes Edwin was then dismissed with disrespect (PTDH) or fired from the Police. The dismissal was carried out based on the decision of the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) trial.

The dismissal was the result of a trial of the Professional Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) which was held on Tuesday, August 30. Edwin was found guilty and sentenced to dishonorable dismissal (PTDH).

"Based on the results of the KKEP trial, alleged violators were proven to have carried out non-professionalism and abuse of authority, so the commission decided that the sanctions were ethical, namely the behavior of violators was declared a disgraceful act, and administrative sanctions in the form of Disrespectful Dismissal (PTDH) as members of the National Police," said Dedi.

However, the verdict has not yet been final. Because, in the trial Edwin declared an appeal. So, who exactly is Ewdin Hatorangan Hariandja?

Compiled by VOI from various sources, Komisari Besar (Kombes) Edwin Hatorangan Hariandja graduated from the Police Academy (Akpol) in 1997. The man who was born on June 23, 1974 has a lot of experience in the field of intelligence.

Some of the positions Edwin held during his career in the police include:

At the end of August 2022, Kombes Edwin Hatorongan was dishonorably dismissed, aka PTDH during the KKEP trial for being proven to be unprofessional and abuse of authority.

Dalam kasus ini, Edwin diduga menerima uang dari Kasar Reserse Narkoba yang berasal dari barang bukti yang disita dari penanganan kasus sebesar 225 ribu dolar AS dan 376 ribu dolar Singapore yang dimanfaatkan untuk kepentingan pribadi.

According to Inspector General Dedi's statement, while serving as Soetta Airport Police Chief, Edwin as the superior investigator did not supervise and control the handling of the Police Report Number: LP/103/K/VI/2021/RESTA BSH dated June 30, 2021, which was handled by investigators from the Soetta Airport Police Narcotics Investigation Unit.

"The Commission decided that the sanctions were ethical, namely the behavior of violators being declared a disgraceful act, and administrative sanctions in the form of dishonorable dismissal (PTDH) as members of the Police," said Dedi on Wednesday, August 31.

Previously, Kombes Edwin had been in the spotlight for successfully mediating the match between Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Arteria Dahlan, and a woman who claimed to be the daughter of a 3-star general at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

Not only that, Edwin's actions in eradicating drug trafficking in the country also received appreciation.

Edwin was recorded as having destroyed thousands of ecstasy pills, and the kilograms of methamphetamine obtained from smuggling from abroad.
