JAKARTA - Ferdy Sambo said the investigation report (LPH) was prepared based on the results of the examination of all parties suspected of being involved. Including, information from Ismail Bolong and Kabareskrim Komjem Agus Andrianto.

"Yes, I had time," said Ferdy Sambo in response to the question of examining Ismail Bolong and Komjen Agus Andrianto at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, November 29.

In addition, Ferdy Sambo also denied the accusation of releasing Ismail Bolong or not continuing the prosecution process.

According to him, Propam's authority is limited to taking action against the members of the National Police who are involved. The action process has been carried out until the stage of handing over the LHP to the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"Look, I have officially submitted the official report to the leadership, so it means that the process in Propam has been completed, it involves high-ranking officers," he said.

"Yes, no, it's an official report," continued Sambo.

It is known that the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto, had doubts about the LHP of the Propam Division regarding the alleged bribery of illegal mines. According to him, the information in the report does not prove that there is indeed involvement behind the Ismail Bolong case.

"The information alone is not enough," said Agus

In fact, Agus questioned Ferdy Sambo and Hendra Kurniawan's steps that did not take action against all the names listed in the two investigation report (LHP).

He also suspected that the two former members of the National Police had received the deposit. So, they did not take action.

"Maybe those who receive it by not continuing the problem, throwing stones to divert issues," said Agus.

For information, based on the LHP document number R/1253/WAS.2.4/2022/IV/DIVPROPAM, dated April 7, 2022, the name of Komjen Agus Andrianto was dragged into accepting bribes.

At the LHP submitted by the Head of the National Police Propam Division, at that time Ferdy Sambo was handed over to the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, it was 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.
