JAKARTA - The High Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab finally received a summons for examination sent by investigators. They accepted that after three investigators visited Rizieq Shihab's residence.

Receiving the summons for investigation was after the team led directly by Deputy Chief of Crime of Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Calvijn Simanjuntak negotiated with the FPI Laskar.

Previously, the FPI Laskar had always formed barricades to keep out the police. But after negotiating they finally gave access to the police.

But only one policeman was brought in. Not long after, AKBP Calvijn, who was allowed to enter, came out of the Paksi Gang which is the residence of Rizieq Shihab.

AKBP Calvijn did not make many statements. He only said if the summons had been delivered.

"It (has been accepted)," said Calvijn to reporters, Wednesday, December 2.

Previously, Polda Metro Jaya investigators scheduled a second examination of Rizieq Shihab and his son-in-law, Hanif Alatas at the beginning of next week. They will be asked for information regarding the alleged violation of the health protocol (prokes) at Najwa Shihab's wedding in Petamburan, Central Jakarta.

"Members are still sending the second summons at Petamburan to MRS (Muhammad Rizieq Shihab) and also the brother of MHA (Muhamamd Hanif Alatas) who is Rizieq's son-in-law. We schedule it for Monday (December 7, 2020)," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus to journalists, Wednesday, December 2.

With the second summons for examination, it is hoped that Rizieq Shihab and Hanif Alatas can attend. But so far investigators are still trying to deliver the summons. This is because investigators encountered problems when delivering the letter.

"Hopefully the MRS and MHA can attend the examination," said Yusri.
