JAKARTA - The National Police Chief, General Sigit Prabowo, admitted that he was not too close to the figure of Fahmi Alamsyah. With his capacity as an adviser to the National Police Chief, Fahmi was later highlighted after the case of Brigadier J's death surfaced to the public.

According to Sigit, Fahmi was appointed as an advisor during the previous leadership of the National Police Chief.

"However, in daily life I never meet with the person concerned because he is involved with Ferdi Sambo on a daily basis," said National Police Chief Sigit during a hearing with Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Thursday, August 24.

The National Police Chief Sigit emphasized that if during the investigation the special team found that Fahmi had a connection with the preparation of the scenario for Brigadier J's death at Inspector General Ferdy Sambo's house, Duren Tiga, it would be investigated.

"I have ordered the team to investigate and we will process it if we find it so that it becomes clear," said Sigit.

"Currently Fahmi has resigned and this is also with the agreement of other expert advisors. We are currently preparing an advisory plan for the new Chief of the National Police," said the four-star general.
