C
orruption Eradication Commission (KPK) senior investigator Novel Baswedan’s advocacy team has urged the National Police to investigate an alleged professional ethics violation by the legal team representing two police officers accused of attacking the top graft buster with acid.
The advocacy team accused National Police legal division head Insp. Gen. Rudy Heriyanto Adi Nugroho of misusing his authority to hide evidence and cover up the crime allegedly committed by his fellow police officers, Chief Brig. Ronny Bugis and Brig. Rahmat Kadir Mahulette, who are standing trial for assaulting Novel in April 2017.
At the time of the incident, Rudy was the Jakarta Police’s general crime division head. He was responsible for handling the investigation of the crime scene. He is currently leading the legal team representing Ronny and Rahmat in court.
“Everything related to the investigation was under his responsibility, including the allegedly lost evidence, which looks like an action to cover up the crime,” Kurnia Ramadhan, a spokesperson for Novel’s advocacy team, said in a statement on Tuesday.
