JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, emphasized that the process of alleged ethical and criminal violations could go hand in hand. This affirmation was conveyed regarding handling alleged violations of the code of ethics of former Head of the Police's Professional and Security Division (Propam), Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, in handling the murder case of Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J.
"According to the law, ethical violations and criminal violations can go together, they don't have to wait for each other and cannot cancel each other out. That is, if someone is sentenced to ethical sanctions, it does not mean that his criminal allegations are ruled out. Ethical violations are processed, criminal violations are processed equally", said Mahfud MD in the @mohmahfudmd Instagram account quoted on Sunday, August 7th.
Mahfud conveyed this regarding the news that Inspector General Ferdy Sambo had been brought to the Mobile Brigade Command Headquarters in Depok on Saturday, August 6. Moments later, the National Police Headquarters held a press conference regarding Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.
Regarding the handling of ethics and crime, Mahfud MD gave an example of the Akil Mochtar case related to the bribery case handling the lawsuit at the Constitutional Court.
“For example, in the past, the case of Mr. Akil Mochtar in the Constitutional Court. When the person concerned is detained for alleged corruption after being OTT, without waiting for the completion of the criminal process, his ethical violation is processed and he is first dismissed from his position as a judge of the Constitutional Court through ethical sanctions. It makes it easier for criminal investigations because he can't be flirtatious in the Constitutional Court", said Mahfud.
After the ethical sanctions were imposed, sometime later a criminal sentence was decided.
“Several years after the ethical sanctions were imposed, they were sentenced to criminal penalties. Criminal investigations are more complicated and take longer than ethical violations. So the public doesn't need to worry, solving this ethical problem will actually make it easier to speed up the criminal investigation if there are allegations and allegations about it", said the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs.
