TEMPO.CO, Depok - The lawyer for police Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat a.k.a. Brigadier J, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, has again spoken up about the motive for the murder of his client committed by Ferdy Sambo and his friends.
Kamaruddin stated that the former police’s internal affairs chief killed his personal aide not because his wife Putri Candrawati was sexually abused, but because Brigadier J was the key witness to his rotten behavior.
“Brigadier J was indicated as a double intelligence agent, then he was deemed to be the one who exposed [Sambo’s] poor behavior to his wife, so to eliminate the trace, the witness or informant must be killed,” said Kamaruddin at Pancasila University, Wednesday, September 28, 2022.
Based on the data he owned, Kamaruddin said Brigadier J had information about many of Sambo's immoral acts, from the online gambling ring the 303 Consortium to narcotics trafficking.
“[Brigadier J] has information about 303, drug trafficking, methamphetamine, liquor, and the circulation of contraband R car,” he outlined.
The lawyer refused to expose the detail but he was certain that everything will be disclosed. “303 has been proven now. [Its financial transactions reach] Rp155 trillion, proven by PPATK (Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center), not me. What I said is proven [to be true],” said Kamaruddin.
For this reason, he hoped that the motive for his client's murder can be revealed as clearly as possible at the trial. “There was no harassment, that’s fabricated,” he emphasized.
Kamaruddin also mentioned that the investigation into Brigadier J's murder case had been stepped up and that the suspect status of Ferdy Sambo and his colleagues have now become defendants.
