Jakarta – Attorney Henry Yosodiningrat reported the Special Directorate of Special Investigation of the South Sulawesi Regional Police Kombes Pol Helmi Kwarta Kusuma Putra Rauf and East Luwu Police Chief AKBP Silvester M.M Simamora to the Propram Polri Division. The report was filed regarding allegations of partisanship in handling disputes over nickel mines in East Luwu, South Sulawesi.
Henry also complained about the Wadireskrimsus Polda Sulsel AKBP Gany Alamsyah Hatta, Investigator of the Sub Directorate of Tipditer of the Ditreskrimsus of the South Sulawesi Police Kompol Nugraha Pamungkas and Investigator of Sub Directorate IV Tipidter of the Ditreskrimsus of the South Sulawesi Police Kompol Salim. These three officers are strongly suspected of having acted unprofessionally and violated police regulations in handling the PT Citra Lampia Mandiri (PT CLM) share ownership case between PT Asia Pacific Mining Resources (PT AMPR) as the majority shareholder in CLM and PT Aserra Mineralindo Investama (PT AMI) ).
“This alignment includes escorting the new president director who we consider illegal, along with a group of thugs to enter the company’s operational office,” said Henry Yosodiningrat as PT APMR’s attorney to the media crew at the National Police Headquarters, Monday (21/11).
Henry reasoned, a case can only be ‘proceeded quickly’ if the case has received great attention, for example related to the discovery of drugs in large quantities or terrorism.
Henry explained that the start of an investigation without mentioning the existence of a Letter of Notification of the Commencement of Investigation (SPDP) to the South Sulawesi High Prosecutor’s Office or at least to the Luwu State Prosecutor’s Office was a strange or awkward thing. The reason is because the SPDP is one of the formal requirements to carry out coercive measures.
“Based on the chronological description of the events above, the Direskrimsus and Wadirkrimsus as well as two investigators at Sub Directorate IV Dittipidter Ditreskrimsus Polda South Sulawesi are suspected of having violated the disciplinary regulations for members of the Indonesian Police and being unprofessional,” he said.
East Luwu Police Chief Complained to Propam
Meanwhile regarding the East Luwu Police Chief Silvester M.M Simamora, PT APMR’s attorney also sent a letter of complaint to the Propram Polri Division with the allegation that the person concerned had violated the disciplinary rules for members of the Indonesian Police and acted unprofessionally in handling the problem.
Complaints against the East Luwu Police Chief were made separately from complaints against the other four members of the South Sulawesi Regional Police.
In the complaint, it was stated that apart from accompanying and escorting Zaina Abidinsyah Siregar to PT CLM’s operational office in Malili, East Luwu, on Wednesday 16 November 2022, the East Luwu Police Chief had issued Letter Number: B/1197/XI/RES.1.8./ 2022 regarding Nickel Cargo Handling addressed to PT Bintang Eight Resources.
The letter was made based on Police Report Number: LP/B/107/XI/2Q22/SPKT/ Polres East Luwu/Polda South Sulawesi dated 05 November 2022 and Investigation Warrant Number: SP.Lidik/510/XI/Res.1.24/2022 /Crime on 05 November 2022.
The letter from the East Luwu Police Chief stated in essence that the East Luwu Police Criminal Investigation Unit investigators were conducting an investigation regarding the alleged crime of nickel ore theft that occurred from 1 to 4 November 2022 in the IUP OP area of PT Citra Lampia Mandiri.
Henry said, based on the results of the investigation it was discovered that during that time span two barges had been sent to PT Indonesia Guang Ching Nickel and Stainless Steel Industry, as stated in the documents for the goods and the respective vessels.
First, departure on November 1, 2022 by using the TB Buana Maritim V-BG Buana Jaya 3005 with the aim of Jetty PT Bintang Eight Terminal Bahaodopi Anchorage Central Sulawesi. Second, departure on November 4, 2022 by using the TB Ship. SM Golden – BG SM 300-1 with the aim of Jetty PT. Eight Star Bahaodopi Terminal Anchorage, Central Sulawesi.
In the warrant, the Head of the East Luwu Police gave permission to carry out the demolition and processing, however regarding payment to be deferred until further processing.
“The contents of the letter and the sentence are very tendentious and show partiality with the aim that payments are made to the ‘new management’ under the leadership of Zainal Abidinsyah Siregar (whom they escorted when they came to take over management by force).
In fact, until now the police report Number: LP/B/107/XI/2Q22/SPKT/Polres Luwu Timur/Polda Seulawesi Selatan dated 05 November 2022 is still in the process of investigation.
Henry said the police officers were suspected of violating Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2003 concerning Disciplinary Regulations for Members of the Indonesian National Police because they had shown partiality and abused their authority in handling the above criminal case.
“This is not just an administrative violation, I qualify the action as a crime committed by the Police Chief. It violates Article 423 of the Criminal Code,” he said.
In this regard, Henry asked the National Police to process this case. “This is what I reported. I have also made a report with copies to the National Police Chief, Irwasum and South Sulawesi Regional Police Chief,” he stressed. bembo
