TEMPO.CO, Aceh - Jakarta Police Chief Insp. Gen. Mochamad Iriawan revealed that the police have managed to know the funder of the coup attempt that happened at the evening of Jakarta Rally on December 2, 2016. “We have managed to know (the identity of the funder),” he said Friday, December 9, 2016.
According to Iriawan, the fund was paid out gradually and at a time directly. He also explained that his team is currently investigating the fund provider.
However, Iriawan was reluctant to reveal the identity of the coup funder. “[We’re] wary about the accuracy, [someone] might be [wrongly accused],” he said. He said the police would reveal it to the public once the evidence is believed to be enough.
Head of Public Information Division of Public Relations at the police headquarters, Comr. Martinus Sitompul said that he is also not ready to reveal it. Although he concurs Iriawan’s statement, that the investigators already have the flow of funds as evidence of an alleged coup attempt, such as the amount of money, sender, receiver, and the number of transfers.
