JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD, has complied with the summons of the House of Representatives' Honorary Court (MKD). Mahfud was asked for his statement regarding a statement on a YouTube account regarding the case of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.

In that account, Mahfud gave a statement regarding Inspector General Ferdy Sambo having contacted a number of parties including members of the DPR in making the scenario for the murder of Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J.

However, Mahfud's statement was not fully quoted by a number of media. He explained the full version, namely that Ferdy Sambo had made preconditions by calling members of the DPR.

The former Head of the Propam Division, continued Mahfud, contacted members of the DPR so that those who were called would know beforehand and believe that a gunfight had taken place which led to the death of Brigadier J in the Duren Tiga area of Jakarta.

"I said there, actually Sambo had a scenario so that people would believe that a shootout occurred and he was wronged, for that he made a precondition. What was the precondition? Contacted several people. There are several more DPR members there, I won't mention," said Mahfud in the DPR MKD room, Jakarta, Thursday, August 25.

Mahfud admitted that he knew the identity of the DPR member who was contacted by Ferdy Sambo. However, he made sure not to reveal who the figure was.

"I didn't mention it, because I don't know if there's going to be a trial that's in my pocket about that name, and I don't have to issue it for a number of reasons," he added.

According to Mahfud, the reason for not revealing the name is because the DPR member did not violate the law. He received a call because Ferdy Sambo wanted to make an alibi for the assassination plot. "For example, if you were contacted by Sambo, it's not a violation, why should you be prosecuted?" he said.

Mahfud said that it was unethical to mention his name because there was no communication after Ferdy Sambo's chronology of fabricating this case became known to him. He only confirmed that Ferdy Sambo's phone calls to a number of parties, including members of the DPR, for the sake of engineering the case.

"But I confirm and I prove that Sambo and his entire network have indeed made a movement so that people believe and those who are contacted, one Kompolnas, the second Komnas HAM and the third, several editor-in-chief," said Mahfud.

"And I have called, and it's true. But I can't call this DPR," he said.
