JAKARTA - The Indonesian Church Association (PGI) asked the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to review the dismissal of former Kaur Bin Ops (KBO) Criminal Investigation Unit of the Kupang City Police, Ipda Rudy Soik.

"We ask the National Police Chief to review the dismissal of Ipda Rudy Soik because it involves procedural matters that are certainly debatable," said PGI Executive Secretary Henrek Lokra as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 15.

He said the request was encouraged by the insistence of elements of society who voiced anxiety over the dismissal of Ipda Rudy who succeeded in uncovering the oil fuel mafia (BBM) case in NTT.

"Dismissal of Ipda Rudy Soik deeply disturbs the community's sense of justice," he continued.

Henrek Lokra assessed that the dishonorable dismissal or dismissal imposed on Ipda Rudy would only weaken the spirit of the apparatus in fighting for law enforcement and justice in the future.

Therefore, his party hopes that the National Police Chief can review the decision to dismiss Ipda Rudy Soik.

Ipda Rudy Soik was fired by the NTT Police for violating the professional code of ethics in an investigation into alleged misuse of fuel oil (BBM).

The violation of discipline and violation of the police professional code of ethics that ensnared Rudy Soik included several other cases, such as defamation of members of the National Police, leaving the place of duty without permission, and unprofessionalism in the subsidized fuel investigation.

Based on a special information report from the NTT Regional Police Subbidpaminal, Ipda Rudy Soik is suspected of installing a police line on drums and empty jerry cans in two different locations.

The professional accountability sub-field for Profession and Security (Subbidwabprof Bidpropam) of the NTT Police, then conducted an investigative audit related to unprofessionalism in the investigation.

The audit results revealed that there was an unprofessionalism in the investigation carried out by Ipda Rudy Soik and other members, who did not involve related units and did not comply with standard operating procedures.
