JAKARTA - The National Police are reluctant to comment on Ferdy Sambo's alleged underground movement to escape the snares of the law. The reason is that this is no longer the domain of investigators or the authority of the Bhayangkara Corps. "I think we have passed the investigation stage, it is not the authority of the police investigators anymore," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Wednesday, January 25. Currently, the case involving the former Head of the Propam Division has entered the trial stage. Thus, the authority to comment on the matter rests with the prosecutor's office and the court. Although, the allegation is said to be the involvement of a Brigadier General in the underground movement. "I think that stage is no longer an investigation process, not the realm of police duties anymore, because the Police's duties have passed and the process is currently in court," said Ramadhan. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD had mentioned that there were parties who carried out underground movements to intervene in the verdict against Ferdy Sambo Cs. The goal is that they want Sambo to be released, some want Sambo to be punished. "Some have said that Brigadier General approached A and B, Brigadier General who I told me to call, later I have a lot of mayjens. If you have Major General who wants to press the court or the prosecutor's office, here I have Lt. Gen. So just be independent," said Mahfud. However, his party was able to secure this. The Prosecutor's Office was not affected by underground movements related to the premeditated murder of Brigadier J. "I make sure that the prosecutor's office is independent, it will not be influenced by underground movements," said Mahfud.
