Police chief will order Bareskrim to reopen Munir case
Tempo - August 31, 2018
"I will summon Kabareskrim to re-investigate the case," said Tito Karnavian on Friday, August 31.
Tito said the investigation sought to examine whether there was data that could still be developed. Earlier, Arief Sulistyanto said he had not looked into the case.
The Civil Society Coalition for Human Rights has prompted the government to open the fact-finding team's (TPF) document on Munir's case and resume the investigation, which has lasted for 14 years.
Kontras' advocacy division coordinator Putri Kanesia said the TPF's document was crucial to resolving the case.
Putri said the Munir case was not finished yet despite the release of one of its convicted murderers, Pollycarpus. "Although Pollycarpus has been released, this case is not finished yet," she said.
Pollycarpus was released on Wednesday, August 29, after serving the Supreme Court's sentence of 14 years' imprisonment. He was convicted of murdering Munir using arsenic poison.
