JAKARTA - The National Police-Criminal Investigation Unit will still transfer the investigation file of the case of the attack by a police officer with the six suspected Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) troops to the Attorney General's Office (AGO) even though the investigation of the case has been stopped.

"Next week, we plan to send the file (to the AGO)", said the Director-General of Criminal Action at the National Police-Criminal Investigation Unit, Brigadier General Andi Rian, to reporters, Friday, March 5.

This is done so that the Prosecutor's Office will decide regarding the termination of the case. So, the handling of that case is through the correct rules.

"We throw the file to the prosecutor, the prosecutor will give instructions, definitely the ending will be terminated. But SPDP (warrant commencement of investigation) was already out earlier, we have to tell the prosecutor", he said.

Andi also said that if the investigation files were not transferred to the Prosecutor's Office, it would only result in the invisibility of case handling. For that reason, for these reasons the investigation files are still being submitted.

"The police can't continue to stop one-sidedly, the ones who come out are not objective, right? So it remains because it is inseparable from that", he said.

Previously it was reported, the Head of Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, said that the investigation process in the case of the alleged assault of police officers by six members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) was officially stopped.

The reason is, the suspects have died. Thus, the status of a suspect does not apply by law.

"The attack case on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road has been stopped. So, the investigation and the status of the suspect have been closed", said Argo.

The termination of this case refers to Article 109 of the Criminal Procedure Code. This article contains the question of terminating the investigation because the suspect has passed away, said Argo.
