JAKARTA - Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) assesses that the actions of members of Densus 88 to stalk the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Ardiansyah were not of his own volition. It is believed that there was an order from the superior.

"So you see, if Densus works, members of Densus, yes, at the lower level he must work, there is definitely no order from his superiors," said IPW Chairman Sugeng Teguh Santoso to reporters, Monday, May 27.

"On this basis, of course, the internal Densus is the first thing that is checked not to the National Police Chief first, checked internally by the Densus," he continued.

Furthermore, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo should conduct a search. In fact, Sugeng said the team could be formed.

"The National Police Chief must check, send a team whether this is an official assignment or not. That's the first one," he said.

IPW believes Febrie is also not just being stalked for no reason. Moreover, he is currently handling a mining corruption case that is detrimental to the state.

However, Sugeng asked that the investigation into the alleged corruption should be reviewed because usually the police are in charge. "It must be seen by the authority to enforce mining law, that is first the authority of the police," he explained.

"Because the law on mining for criminal acts is the authority of the police," concluded Sugeng.
