JAKARTA - The National Police stated that AKBP Raden Brotoseno was not fired from Koprs Bhayangkara because he was only given a sanction in the form of demotion based on the decision of the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP).

The decision to impose sanctions was due to a defense that stated that Borotoseno should be retained as a member of the National Police because he was considered to have excelled.

"There is a statement by the superior of AKBP R. Brotoseno that he can be maintained as a member of the National Police with various considerations of achievement and behavior during his service in the police," said Head of the Porpam Division of the National Police Inspector General Ferdy Sambo in his statement, Monday, May 30.

In addition, other considerations were not carried out because Haris Artur Haidir as the briber in the corruption case of rice fields printing in Ketapang, West Kalimantan, was declared acquitted.

The acquittal decision was based on the results of the trial at the cassation level with decision number 1643-K/pidsus/2018, dated November 14, 2018.

Then, Brotoseno has also served his sentence. Moreover, he behaved well so that he received remission or a reduction in his prison term.

"The alleged violator has served a 3 year and 3 month sentence from the 5-year Corruption Court's decision for good behavior while serving his sentence in prison," said Sambo.

The last reason, in the KKEP trial process, Brotoseno did not file an appeal. That is, he accepted all the sanctions imposed.

"AKBP R. Brotoseno accepted the decision of the KKEP trial and did not file an appeal," said Sambo.

Raden Brotoseno became the talk of the town for returning to work in the National Police. In fact, he is a recidivist corruption case.

Brotoseno was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 300 million for the corruption case of rice field printing in Ketapang, West Kalimantan.

With this decision, Raden Brotoseno has been in detention since 2017. Until finally, he was released on parole since February 2020, and was released purely at the end of September 2020. He was released early because he received a parole program. Raden Brotoseno received a remission of 13 months 25 days.
