JAKARTA - An individual member of the TNI with the initials FS who is suspected of being involved in the escape of Rachel Vennya's program from quarantine at the Wisma Atlet Jakarta is threatened with disciplinary or criminal punishment.

"There will be sanctions waiting for the results of the investigation from the PM (Military Police), whether disciplinary or criminal," said Head of Information for Kodam Jaya, Air Defense Artillery Colonel (Arh) Herwin BS in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday, October 15.

According to him, the imposition of sanctions is the domain of Military Police investigators who are currently investigating cases of violations of the health quarantine procedures.

Based on Law Number 25 of 2014 concerning Military Disciplinary Law, the types of violations of the military discipline law are all actions that are contrary to official orders, official regulations or actions that are not in accordance with the Military Order.

In addition, acts that violate criminal laws are so light in nature.

Meanwhile, Article 9 states that the types of military disciplinary punishments consist of a reprimand, a light disciplinary detention of 14 days or a maximum of 21 days of severe disciplinary action.

The imposition of military disciplinary penalties is followed by administrative sanctions in accordance with statutory provisions.

As for the compensation, Herwin said that FS admitted that he did not receive any compensation. "From the beginning, it has been questioned that the person concerned (FS) at least did not receive any compensation," he said.

Even so, FS' motive for acting outside the procedure is being investigated by investigators at the Jaya Regional Military Command.

Currently, his party is examining all security personnel regarding the escape of the program, starting from the airport, the quarantine process until it can be quarantined at the Athlete's House.

In fact, Rachel Vennya is not included in the group who gets free facilities funded by the government to carry out quarantine after returning from abroad.

According to the Circular Letter of the COVID-19 Task Force Number 18 of 2021, which was still valid at that time, it was stated that Indonesian citizens or foreign nationals (foreigners) who had just arrived in the country were required to quarantine for 8 x 24 hours.

Currently, the COVID-19 Task Force is updating the provisions through Circular Letter Number 20 of 2021 for quarantine to be carried out for 5 x 24 hours, the latest rule effective on October 14, 2021.

Meanwhile, the Athlete House is for quarantine of foreign travelers for migrant workers, Indonesian students and Indonesian government employees after carrying out official trips from abroad.

"So what was called, this is the task force, there is the Airport Task Force, the Pademangan Task Force, this is what we conveyed yesterday, this inspection is from upstream to downstream," he said.
