National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo said his staff was looking for Ismail Bolong's whereabouts. In fact, the former member of the Samarinda Police was hunted by the East Kalimantan Police to the Police Criminal Investigation Unit.

"Ismail has a gap now, of course, a team looking for either from East Kalimantan or from Headquarters," said General Sigit to reporters, Saturday, November 26.

Meanwhile, regarding the steps taken by the Directorate of Certain Crimes, Bareskrim Polri, who sent a summons for examination of Ismail Bolong, Sigit said it was one of the strategies.

Allegedly, the strategy is intended to be able to bring Ismail Bolong forcibly if he does not fulfill two summons later.

"Of course, the search process is a strategy from the police, there is also a call," said Sigit.

On the other hand, the summons and search for Ismail Bolong, continued Sigit, became the entrance to uncover and answer issues regarding deposits to members of the National Police regarding illegal mining in East Kalimantan. This is because all investigation processes must be based on evidence.

"Of course we started from Ismail with a hole first, then from there we will check it. Because if it is a crime, there must be evidence," said Sigit.

Sebagai informasi, beredar dokumen laporan hasil penyelidikan (LHP) terkait adanya penambangan batu bara ilegal di wilayah Polda Kalimantan Timur, dengan temuan diduga terjadi pelanggaran atau degan yang dilakukan oknum anggota Polri dan pejabat utama Polda Kalimantan Timur.

The report on the results of the investigation submitted by the Head of the National Police's Propam Division, at that time Ferdy Sambo was held by the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo Number: R/1253/WAS.2.4/2022/IV/DIVPROPAM, dated April 7, 2022.

In the document on point h, it is written that Aiptu Ismail Bolong gave coordination money to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, which was handed over to Kombes BH as Head of Sub-Directorate V Dittipidter 3 times, namely October, November and December 2021 amounting to IDR 3 billion every month to be distributed at the Dittipidter Bareskrim.

In addition, he also gave coordination money to Komjen Agus Andrianto as the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police directly in the Kabareskrim office in USD 3 times, namely October, November and December 2021, amounting to IDR 2 billion.

Ismail Bolong was viral on social media. He admitted that he deposited billions of rupiah from illegal coal mining to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

In addition, Ismail Bolong also admitted that he worked as an illegal coal collector in the East Kalimantan (Kaltim) area on his own initiative.

He claims to profit billions of rupiah every month and "coordinate" with Komjen Agus Andrianto in running the illegal mining business.

"The profit I get from collecting and selling coal is around IDR 5-10 billion every month. Regarding the activities I carry out, I have coordinated with Kabareskrim, namely to Mr. Komjen Agus Andrianto by giving money three times," said Ismail Bolong from his video caption.

Shortly thereafter, another confession video emerged from Ismail Bolong. It turns out that he is a member of the police who has retired since July 2022.

In the video, Ismail appears to apologize to Agus Andrianto for the statement about the illegal mining deposit.

Ismail admitted that he had never communicated and did not know Kabareskrim. This man did not expect that the video would go viral.

In the video, Ismail mentions the first video was made because he was under pressure from Hendra Kurniawan, who at that time was a Karopaminal Divpropam Polri and a one-star general.
