JAKARTA - The Anarcho Syndicalism group is attracting attention in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because they plan to create a riot to overthrow the government by provoking the anger of the people through acts of vandalism with provocative narratives.
In this case, five people were named as suspects. Not long after they were arrested, a confession emerged that caught the public's attention. This is because the young man with the initials A claims to be the former chairman or leader of Anarcho Syndicalism.
Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said this young man claimed to be the head of the Anarcho group when questioned by investigators. He was previously arrested by police for stealing a helmet at a traffic police post in the Semanggi area, South Jakarta, on April 12. When questioned, the young man admitted to knowing several other leaders in the group.
"The person concerned issued a statement that he was the leader of Anarcho in 2015 by mentioning several existing structures," said Yusri in Jakarta, Thursday, April 16.
His confession was strengthened by a large letter A tattoo on his chest.
However, the police did not immediately believe the young man's statement because when he was arrested he was drunk. Investigators will also examine the young man's blood and psychology. Because, when undergoing an examination, there were signs that he was experiencing mental disorders.
"We also have a plan to check the psychiatric of the person concerned because so far, every time a definite examination is carried out, the person speaking is not in accordance with the person who is aware as usual," said Yusri.
"We understand that we cannot yet be part of Anarcho's group because based on the report he committed a criminal act of theft," he said.
The police dismantled the Anarcho Syndicalism Group which intends to do chaos by taking advantage of the corona virus pandemic condition or COVID-19. Five people who were part of this group were arrested by the police.
The five members of the Anarcho group, MRR aka Bunga (21), AAM aka Aflah (18), RIAP aka Rio (18), RJ alias Riski (19), and MRH. They carried out acts of vandalism at several points in the city of Tangerang with provocative narratives. They also planned to create riots and looting, such as in DKI Jakarta, Bandung and several cities on the island of Java.
The main reason this group took action was because they were not satisfied with the policies issued or made by the government. So, as a form of disappointment they then planned to be confused to overthrow the current government.
For now, investigations regarding their plan are still being developed. However, the five members of the Anarcho group have been behind bars and charged with Article 14 and or Article 15 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations and / or Article 160 of the Criminal Code with the threat of 10 years in prison.
