Dig Into The Ferdy Sambo Case, House Of Representatives Commission III: Mr. Chief Of Police, Why Is Disclosure Of Motives Waiting Until Trial?

JAKARTA - Commission III of the House of Representatives questioned the reason why the National Police had not disclosed the motive for the premeditated murder of Brigadier J, which was masterminded by the former Head of the National Police Propam Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo. The question was raised to the National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo. Initially, Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Adies Kadir, appreciated the National Police Chief and his ranks in revealing the case of Brigadier J's death so brightly that five suspects were named. "So we salute the careful work of the National Police Chief who has worked well and also that the whole case is open until it becomes clear," said Adies during the RDP with the National Police Chief at the DPR Building, Wednesday, August 24. However, Adies wondered why the disclosure of the motive for the premeditated murder had to wait for trial. In fact, he said, the public had been waiting for an explanation from the Police regarding the motive, including what happened in Magelang until there was a plan to kill in Jakarta. "But Mr. Chief of the National Police, there are still public questions that must be answered because we are worried that if people don't answer them, what is wrong with this case. Because in other cases the Police easily convey the motives that are the most frequently asked questions by the public. "Listen, what happened in Magelang? Because if what was finished in Jakarta, it was clear what was conveyed by the National Police Chief both outside and at this meeting, then who was the main suspect, who was the obstruction of Justice, who participated, it's very clear," Adis explained. "But regarding the motive, is it necessary to say that wait until the trial? The Chief of Police should not be a question in the community why this case is waiting for trial when other cases can be opened to the public. At least give a reason why it is waiting for trial," he added.

Therefore, the Golkar politician asked the National Police Chief to explain clearly and in detail the motive for the murder in this case. "What happened to the motive, which made people wait, what actually happened with that motive? These are the things I want to ask the National Police Chief about this case, if everything else has been explained clearly and in detail," said Adies Kadir.

As for this case, the National Police have named five suspects, namely Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Bharada Richard Eliezer, Bripka Ricky Rizal, Strong Ma'ruf, and Putri Chandrawathi alias wife of Ferdy Sambo.

They were charged with Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) and Article 56 of the Criminal Code.
