JAKARTA - The National Police have obtained new facts in the case of smuggling firearms (senpi) from the Philippines to Papua involving pilot Anton Gobay (29). Anton allegedly intends to sell it to anyone who dares to submit the highest offer.

"AG states that the weapons purchased from the Philippines if they manage to pass into Papua will be sold to anyone who is able to pay at the highest price offer," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Friday, January 13.

From a series of investigations carried out by the Philippine authorities, it is also known that the route for smuggling senpi is also known. Anton Gobay intends to use the Davao City route.

"AG in carrying firearms chose to use the route through Davao City to Gensan which will be used as a route for smuggling senpi from the Philippines to Papua before being caught," said Dedi.

On the other hand, for the legal process, continued Dedi, Anton Gobay will soon be tried in the Philippines. In fact, the case files have been transferred to the Prosecutor's Office.

"According to the information obtained, the AG investigation file will be transferred to the Alabel Sarangani Provincial Prosecutor's Office," said Dedi.

Anton Gobay is a pilot who was arrested for smuggling firearms. He was arrested along with two Filipinos, Michael Tino and Jimmy Desales Abolde.

Anton Gobay's arrest took place in an area about 2 hours from Manila, on Saturday, January 7.

Based on information, Anton Gobay got the firearm by buying from someone in the Danao City area, Cebu Province, Philippines.

However, the identity of the illegal gun seller is not yet known. Thus, Anton Gobay is still being investigated intensively for development purposes.

Meanwhile, Philippine authorities confiscated 10 AR-15▁perhatians, one Para 9 millimeter, 20 magazine, and ten rifle popor.
