The Final Result Of Lutfi Alfiandi's Accusation To The Police

JAKARTA - The National Police emphasized that there was no evidence of mistreatment of Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi during the investigation process by the West Jakarta Metro Police.

Head of National Police DivHumas Penum Kombes Asep Adi Saputra said that the accusation was not proven based on the results of the case title by the joint team which studied the evidence and statements of the two parties.

"The team has conducted a degree on the findings, then the result is that the allegations are not proven," said Asep in Jakarta, Tuesday, February 4.

In the pekara degree process, it was emphasized that everything went according to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) without the slightest intervention. In addition, Lutfi's statement or accusation also did not affect the results of the trial which stated that the teenager was guilty.

The existence of digital evidence is considered sufficient to prove that Lutfi has committed violations of the law. So, investigators do not need to use force to make him confess all his actions, including attacks on officers.

"Especially the digital traces of the presence of the person concerned at the crime scene and what he did at the crime scene," said Asep.

Even though Lutfi's accusation was not proven, the National Police will not take any legal steps to challenge the statement. The reason was that the current situation was conducive, so it was deemed unnecessary to take actions that would only make matters worse.

"Not (to sue), if the choice in a better and more conducive situation is a priority. We do not need to consider the problems that will worsen the situation," said Asep.

This allegation of violence first surfaced when Lutfi gave his testimony at the trial at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, January 20. In front of the panel of judges, he said that the investigators were electrocuted for about 30 minutes.

"I was told to sit down, continued to be electrocuted, there was half an hour. I was told to admit that I threw stones at the officers, even though I did not throw them," said Lutfi.

With this tortured condition, Lutfi finally admitted to investigators being involved in the demonstration and threw stones at the police, even though he did not do this.

"I was depressed at that time, so I said that I finally threw stones. At that time, my ears were clamped, electrocuted, I was told to squat too," said Lutfi.

However, at the next trial with an agenda of reading the verdict, the panel of judges stated that Lutfi was proven to have committed an act against the police during a demonstration on September 30, 2019 or violated Article 218 of the Criminal Code.

So, Lutfi was sentenced to 4 months in prison. However, because the prison term was cut while the case was running, the man known as the flag bearer was finally able to breathe free air.
