JAKARTA - The case against Novel Baswedan on chemical liquid sprinkling has been transferred to the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office. The case was transferred on Wednesday January 15th.
"The files are finished, they have been sent (to the AGO)," said Karo Penmas DivHumas Polri Brigadier General Argo Yuwono in Jakarta, Friday, January 24.
That way, the police will wait for the results of the investigation by the Attorney on the file, whether it is declared complete or needs to be completed again.
"Now it's just a matter of waiting from the Attorney General's Office," said Argo.
This case involved two suspects, namely RM and RB. Currently, they are being held at the Bareskrim Detention Center for the Police. They have been detained for 20 days since 27 December. While waiting for the files to be deemed complete by the prosecutor's office, their detention periods will be extended for another 40 days.
The suspect in the case of pouring hard water on Novel was revealed at the end of December. One of the suspects stated that the hard water sprinkling was done because Novel was considered a traitor.
Novel was attacked on April 11, 2017, while walking towards his residence after performing the Fajr prayer at the Al Ihsan Mosque, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.
As a result of the splash of hard water, Novel's eyes were badly injured. He had eye surgery in Singapore.
After the attack, various attempts were made to catch the sprinkler. However, at that time the police admitted that it was difficult to catch the perpetrator or mastermind behind the attack on Novel Baswedan. The National Police even formed a Joint Fact Finding Team (TGPF) to reveal the perpetrators of the sprinkling of hard water.
Not only that, they also had time to open a hotline so that people who knew about the attack could report to the police. Apart from that, the police also distributed sketches of the faces of the alleged perpetrators of the Novel Baswedan attack.
