JAKARTA - Former Commander of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Maman Suryadi withdrew his statement in the examination report (BAP) in the follow-up trial of the persecution case of Muhammad Kosman alias M. Kace alias M. Kece by the defendant Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte.

Maman was present as a witness in the follow-up trial of the case which was held at the South Jakarta District Court, Thursday, July 14.

He is a prisoner in the State Detention Center (Rutan) Bareskrim Polri.

The revocation of the BAP began when the public prosecutor (JPU) read Maman's BAP which stated that Inspector General Napoleon had committed physical violence by grabbing M. Kace with his left hand.

Meanwhile, Napoleon's right hand was holding feces while hitting and pushing Kace so hard that his head hit the wall of the detention cell.

"Here is your statement in point 48, I read out that it is true that Brother Napoleon did physical violence to Brother Kosman, namely by using his right hand, his left hand grabbing M. Kace," said the prosecutor while reading the BAP.

"Furthermore, the right hand holding the stool hit him by pushing hard until M. Kace's head hit the wall, smearing Kace's face with the feces twice," said the prosecutor.

The prosecutor then asked if it was true that Inspector General Pol. Napoleon hit Kace after smearing feces.

Maman says it is not true.

"Nothing (the statement is not true), I withdrew my BAP," said Maman.

Maman later admitted to withdrawing the BAP because he felt pressured to provide information.

"I withdrew my BAP because at that time I was summoned and in the BAP three times, I felt there was pressure. So, I will present it at this trial actually," answered Maman.

Napoleon then confirmed this to Maman. The former Head of the International Relations Division of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Indonesian National Police also asked about the information in the BAP.

"In fact, at the prosecutor's question, you said that I was only smearing, not hitting. What is your attitude towards this difference?" asked Napoleon.

"I withdraw the BAP," answered Maman.

"I just wanted to make sure of that," replied Napoleon.

This case began when M. Kace was detained at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police on August 26, 2021 after being named a suspect in a blasphemy case. At that time, Napoleon was being detained in connection with the bribery case of the convicted cessie Bank Bali Djoko Tjandra.

In the indictment, the prosecutor stated that Napoleon carried out the persecution on August 27, 2021. The torture was with four other detainees, namely Dedy Wahyudi, Djafar Hamzah, Himawan Prasetyo, and Harmeniko alias Choky alias Pak RT.

Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte was charged with molesting and smearing M. Kace's face with human waste at the Criminal Investigation Department.

In addition, M. Kace was beaten by Dedy, Djafar, and Hermiko. This action caused M. Kace to suffer injuries to his face, temples and right hip.

M. Kace reported the abuse to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police on the same day. The police then named Napoleon and several other detainees as suspects on September 29, 2021.

On September 3, 2021, Napoleon's legal counsel said that his client and M. Kace had signed a peace treaty on seal. However, the police on October 8, 2021 said that M. Kace did not withdraw the report so that the legal process continued.

Napoleon was charged with Article 170 paragraph (2) of the 1st Criminal Code or Article 170 paragraph (1) or Article 351 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code and Article 351 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. For his actions, Napoleon was threatened with a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison.
