“Yes, we have received the SPDP,” West Java Prosecutors’ Office head Setia Untung Arimuladi said on Friday as reported by tribunnews.com.

Untung said his office was preparing prosecutors to accompany police in questioning Rizieq, who was earlier reported by Sukmawati Soekarnoputri, the daughter of the country’s founding father and first president Sukarno, to the police for allegedly defaming the Pancasila (state ideology).

“We are always cooperative with the police,” he said.

West Java Police have upgraded the status of the case from a preliminary investigation to a full investigation, and plan to question Rizieq again earlier next week.

In the preliminary investigation, the police questioned Rizieq in Bandung last week. Hundreds of supporters of the FPI staged a rally during the questioning. After the questioning, the supporters were involved in a clash with members of the Indonesian General Society Movement (GMBI).

Following the clash, FPI supporters reportedly attacked and burned down a GMBI office in Ciampea, Bogor, West Java.

Rizieq was believed to behind recent mass rallies in Jakarta, which were joined by hundreds of thousands of people who demanded Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama be prosecuted for alleged blasphemy. (jun)
