The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) urges the National Police to take firm action against police officers suspected of extorting a tourist from Malaysia at the Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) event on December 13-15, 2024.
Previously, a number of Malaysian tourists admitted to being victims of extortion while enjoying the 2024 DWP in Jakarta. The Malaysian tourist said he received unpleasant treatment from police officers. The reason is, they were asked for money worth RM 9 million or equivalent to Rp 32 billion.
"We appreciate the steps taken by the National Police's Propam Division and hope that there will be firm action and appropriate sanctions against the perpetrators," said Kompolnas member Muhammad Choirul Anam as reported by ANTARA, Monday, December 23.
Anam also asked the National Police's Propam Division to immediately provide an explanation regarding the case of the police allegedly extorting Malaysian tourists so that confusing information does not occur. "In addition to giving strict sanctions, it is important to explain what actually happened transparently," he said.
According to Anam, Kompolnas paid special attention to this case, which is currently being processed by the Propam Division of the National Police Headquarters and Propam Polda Metro Jaya. In this case, there were 18 police officers suspected of being involved and have been arrested.
