9 Police Officers Have Been Disciplinary Tried Following the Extortion of DWP Attendees

DIVISION The Propam Polri continues to hold hearings by the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) against 18 members who are suspected of extorting concertgoers at the Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP). A total of nine police officers have been subjected to an ethics trial up to today.

“The Polri Propam Division has conducted 9 professional ethics hearings related to the DWP 2024 case,” said the Head of the Polri Public Relations Division, Kombes Erdi Adrimulan Chaniago, to reporters on Tuesday, (7/1).

Erdi said that out of the nine police officers, three of them were dismissed without honor (PTDH) as members of the police force. Then, three members were demoted for 8 years and three others were demoted for 5 years. This demotion is a placement in a lower position outside the law enforcement function (detective).

“Regarding that decision, the offender filed an appeal,” said Erdi.
