According to the lawyer, the past two years always seemed to lead the investigation upon blaming the attack on a group of thugs. His team had also alleged the involvement of a General.
“It’s unknown whether it is covered-up or not, all this time the involvement of a police member was never revealed,” said Alghiffari.
Police continuously deny this allegation and repeatedly assures Novel Baswedan and members of the public upon its seriousness to help solve the case.
