JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo admits that he is close to Ferdy Sambo. However, his closeness did not make him hesitate to 'cut off' the suspect in the murder of Brigadier J. According to him, his close relationship with Sambo is only limited to professionalism. Because, Sambo at that time served as the Head of the Propam Police Division. "Against Ferdy Sambo himself as the main official at the National Police Headquarters is certainly quite close. Because indeed the task of FS as the Head of the Propam Division is to carry out his duties to carry out internal security and escort and one of them is to the leadership," said General Sigit, quoted from the Kick Andy event on Metro TV, on Tuesday, September 20. With that position, Sambo is always on Sigit's side on various occasions. So, as if it seems to have a certain closeness. "So automatically in every activity I have FS more with me than other main officials. That's the position," he said. "But it's a position because of the position in question," continued Sigit. However, this closeness did not make Sigit hesitate to take action against Sambo, who had violated the crime. The four-star general is straightforward in saying indiscriminately that he will take action against any of his members who are guilty. This step is also to keep his promise. At that time, Sigit had said that he would 'cut off' every member who was guilty or committed a crime. Moreover, Sambo is the head of the Propam Division. Where, he should be an example for other members of the Police. "How can we take action against members if we ourselves still have a lot of holes in our eyes. So I think, related to this incident, I have no doubt to take firm action," said Sigit. Ferdy Sambo was officially dismissed from the National Police. The dismissal after the appeal note in the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) trial was rejected. The process of dismissal is currently in the administrative stage. The Assistant for HR of the National Police is currently compiling and completing the file.

In this case, he is suspected of Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 in conjunction with Article 55 and Article 56 of the Criminal Code which carries a maximum penalty of death or life imprisonment or a maximum of 20 years.
