A number of aids to the former Head of the Profession and Security Division of the National Police, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, left after undergoing an examination at the Komnas HAM Office, Jakarta, Tuesday (26/7/2022).

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The disclosure of a number of police officers who tried to obstruct the investigation into the murder case of Brigadier J or Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat means homework for the Indonesian National Police to deconstruct or rearrange the internal supervision system of the institution. This needs to be done immediately so that there are no more evil public consortia within the National Police.

The National Police's Special Inspectorate Team has examined 83 police officers who are suspected of being involved in trying to obstruct the investigation into Nofriansyah's murder. Of that number, 35 of them are suspected of violating ethics. Of the members of the National Police who are suspected of violating ethics, 15 people have been specially placed and three people have been detained because they have been named suspects.
