JAKARTA - Police investigators have named the captain of the KG 932 ship, a Vietnamese citizen, Nguyen Hoang Giau, as a suspect in an illegal fishing case in the waters of North Natuna, Riau Islands Province.
"Investigators named the captain of the ship named Nguyen Hoang Giau as the captain of the KG 932 ship. The perpetrator was named a suspect in illegal fishing whose fish will be sold in Vietnam," said Head of the Patrolair Sub-Directorate, Ditpolairud Baharkam Polri, Kombes Dadan quoted from Antara, Sunday.
He said the determination of the suspect was based on the results of the case conducted by investigators.
Currently, Vietnamese-flagged fishing vessels and suspects are being brought to Batam for further handling of cases.
He said KIA KG 932 was arrested by KP Bisma-8001 personnel on Sunday (26/11).
"KP Bisma-8001 with ship commander AKBP Darsuki on Sunday arrested KIA with Vietnamese flags with 20 crew members in North Natuna waters," he said.
During the arrest, police found a revolver-type homemade firearm with 6 bullets.
He said that when he was about to be arrested, the crew of the KG 932 had fought back, resulting in a chase with officers.
"In the arrest, there was resistance to chase each other, but there was no resistance using firearms. Maybe seeing more of our weapons," said Kombes Dadan.
He said that based on the results of the KP Bisma-8001 examination, the Vietnamese-flagged KIA was known to be fishing in North Natuna waters without being equipped with documents as regulated by the Indonesian government.
"After examining the homemade revolver, it belongs to the captain of the ship. The fishing boat also does not have valid documents such as SIPI and SIUP to catch fish in Indonesian waters," he said.
Still from the results of the inspection, the ship is known to have been active in Indonesian waters for the last 10 years.
"If the 55-ton capacity ship is calculated, the state loss will reach Rp264 billion over the last 10 years. In addition, their activities will also have an impact on Indonesian local fishermen," he said.
In that case, the police confiscated the KG 932 TS ship with a capacity of 120 GT, one pear trawl net, one ton of mixed fish, 1 homemade firearm and 6 bullets.
