JAKARTA - The National Police stated that they would trace the flow of Anton Gaboy's funds in the case of buying and selling illegal firearms. Anton Gaboy is an Indonesian citizen who was arrested by the Philippine police.

"Definitely we will trace the money to where it came from", said the Head of the Police Criminal Investigation Agency, Commissioner Agus Andrianto, to journalists, Wednesday, January 25.

In the process, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) blocked Anton Gaboy's account.

It's just that the follow-up is still awaiting the process carried out by the Philippine authorities. Most likely Anton Gobay will be tried there.

"It's still being processed there", said Commissioner Agus.

Anton Gobay is a pilot. He was arrested in an area about 2 hours by air from Manila, on Saturday, January 7.

Anton Gobay was arrested along with two Filipino citizens, Michael Tino and Jimmy Desales Abolde. He was seen as a case of illegal possession of firearms.

Head of the International Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Krishna Murti, said that according to coordination with the Philippine authorities, Anton Gaboy obtained the firearm by buying it from someone in the Danao City area, Cebu Province, Philippines.

However, the identity of the seller of illegal rifles has not been identified. Thus, Anton Gaboy is still being examined intensively for development purposes.

"Ten long-barreled M4 rifles (5.56) worth 50,000 Pesos, without ammunition, two Ingram short-barreled guns (9mm) worth 45,000 Pesos without ammunition", said Krishna.

The illegal firearms are said to be sold to the Armed Criminal Group (KKB).
