After Uncovering Hundreds of Millions of 'Extortion' Practices from Police Commissioner Petrus, Bripka Andry Asks for Protection from LPSK

JAKARTA - Bripka Andry Darma Irwan applied for protection to the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). Allegedly, the application was submitted because of fears of threats arising after leaking the practice of deposits to superiors.

"Yes (Bripka Andry submitted a request for protection, ed)," said LPSK Chairman Hasto Atmojo to VOI, Thursday, June 8.

The request for protection had originally been filed by Bripka Andry a week ago. However, the LSPK has yet to make a decision.

The reason, the review process is still underway. Moreover, there were several conditions that were just completed by Bripka Andry, on Wednesday, June 7, yesterday.

"It is still being or will be reviewed by the Application Review Bureau," said Hasto.

Bripka Andry Darma Irawan uploaded his statement to social media. It contained a deposit of IDR 650 million to Police Commissioner (Kompol) Petrus H Simamora, who was his boss.

The revelation about the deposit was because Bripka Andry was annoyed. He, who was a member of the Riau Police Mobile Brigade, was transferred to Battalion A Pekanbaru.

Bripka Andry considered the transfer of duties unfair. Because there is no mistake he did. In fact, he always gave a deposit to his superiors.

Responding to this deposit, the National Police through the Head of Public Relations Division Inspector General Sandi Nugroho said the Riau Police Chief Inspector General Mohammad Iqbal would take firm action against anyone involved in the case of the Brimob member's complaint, including the case of deposits from subordinates and superiors.

"The Riau Police Chief responded to the viral issue of a Brimob member who did not accept being transferred even though he often submitted it to his superiors. Kapolda ensures that they will take firm action," Sandi said.
