JAKARTA - Three Polri Generals were removed because they were suspected of being directly involved and unrelated to the issuance of a road certificate and the loss of fugitive Djoko Tjandra's red notice. They are Brigadier General Prasetyo Utomo, Brigadier General Nugroho Wibowo, and Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte.

Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono, said that currently his party is still processing allegations of ethical violations. Regarding the criminal sanction awaiting the results of the ongoing investigation. He said, if sufficient evidence was found, then the application of the punishment was open.

"Insya Allah, it starts from there (code of ethics). We will find those violations. If there is a criminal act there, we will certainly get caught up in the article of the sentence," said Awi in Jakarta, Monday, July 20.

For Brigadier General Prasetyo, he is suspected of being the mastermind of the issuance of the Djoko Tjandra road letter. The letter, number SJ / 82 / VI / 2020 / Rokorwas, was published as of 18 June 2020 and used for trips to Pontianak, West Kalimantan from Jakarta on 19 June and returned on 22 June 2020.

Then, Brigadier General Nugroho allegedly violated the code of ethics for issuing a letter submitting the validity period of Djoko Tjandra's red notice. Meanwhile, Inspector General Napoleon violated the code of ethics because he neglected to supervise his members.

Even so, Awi was reluctant to think when asked about the possibility of dismissal of the generals who were later declared to be involved. According to him, all decisions depend on the results of the trial.

"We can not imagine, let the process later. Everything will have a trial, later there will be an open trial for that process," Awi concluded.
