JAKARTA - Former Head of Professional and Security Division of the National Police (Kadiv Propam Polri) Ferdy Sambo was charged with life imprisonment in the case of the alleged premeditated murder of Yosua alias Brigadier J. The prosecutor also considered that Ferdy Sambo's actions had been legally and convincingly proven to have violated Article 340 of the Criminal Code.

"Sentenced a sentence against the defendant Ferdy Sambo with life imprisonment," said the prosecutor during the trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, January 17.

There are several considerations behind the demand for life imprisonment. For example, the thing that is burdensome is that it has involved many members of the National Police.

On the other hand, the prosecutor believed that there was no mitigating factor for Ferdy Sambo.

"There are no mitigating circumstances," said the prosecutor.

Meanwhile, in this case Ferdy Sambo was charged with planning the murder of Brigadier J. The planning was carried out on the third floor of the Saguling house, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta.

The shooting of Brigadier J was carried out in the living room of the Police Complex's official residence, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, on July 8.

The reason behind planning the shooting was because he heard stories about the harassment by Brigadier J to his wife, Putri Candrawathi.
