Jakarta – The Directorate of General Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimum) Polda Metro Jaya revealed the role of Aipda M, a police officer suspected of the criminal case of trafficking in persons (TPPO) selling kidneys to Cambodia.
“Initially Aipda M was introduced to the syndicate by an online taxi driver,” said the Director of General Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Hengki Haryadi to the media crew, last Saturday, (22/7).
At that time, continued Kombes Pol Hengki, the suspects had panicked. They thought they suspected that the TIP case had become known to the police.
“Some of these members introduced online taxi drivers to acquaintances from the syndicate. Here, I know a member of the police whose information can help prevent the case from continuing,” explained Kombes Pol Hengki, imitating the taxi driver’s words.
Furthermore, Aipda M also began to play his role in the syndicate to dispose of communication devices, delete digital data, and move places.
“That complicates the investigation. We don’t know how many of these are in Cambodia, what their identities are, what their passports are. It was difficult before leaving for Cambodia,” said Kombes Pol Hengki.
“Even after leaving, we coordinated with the team in Cambodia, which had difficulties, because all the cellphones were gone,” he continued.
For his actions, Aipda M also asked for compensation from the TIP syndicate. Its value is up to hundreds of millions of rupiah.
“So it’s like, we can help, send money transfers to us. Rp612 million was sent and we finally caught it,” said Kombes Pol Hengki.
“This is obstruction of justice. In the article in the anti-trafficking law, the threat is very serious,” he said. Bembo
