TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former police internal affairs (Propam) chief Ferdy Sambo in Tuesday’s court trial is charged with life imprisonment in the premeditated murder of his own police aide brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat. Prosecutors at the South Jakarta District Court asserted that there were no mitigating factors against Sambo.
Public prosecutors argue that Sambo had violated Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 juncto Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
"Sentencing the life in prison against the defendant Ferdy Sambo," said the prosecutor.
Incriminating aspects against Ferdy Sambo
The main and obvious incriminating factor is the defendant’s actions that caused the loss of life of Yosua Hutabarat. The defendant has also failed to confess to his violations which resulted in the image of the police institution being defaced.
Ferdy Sambo was also proven in previous court trials for obstruction of justice by intentionally creating a false scenario on the murder of Yosua. He had also been involved – and deemed to be the mastermind – behind the disappearance of the crucial CCTV footage at his official house, where the murder took place.
