Revealed! 4 Interesting Facts Behind the Dismissal of AKBP Bintoro, Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of South Jakarta Police

Kapanlagi.com - The case of the dismissal of AKBP Bintoro from the police has now become a public spotlight following allegations of extortion against the suspect in a murder case. The former Head of Criminal Investigation at the South Jakarta Metro Police is suspected of receiving more than Rp100 million in a case that also involves several other police officers.

In the Police Professional Ethics Code Trial (KKEP) held at the Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, Bintoro was given the sanction of Dismissal Without Honor (PTDH), along with his colleague AKP Zakaria who is also implicated in this scandal. The dismissal decision was made based on evidence revealed during the ethical trial process.

Kompolnas Commissioner, Choirul Anam, revealed that the flow of funds received by Bintoro and related parties has been uncovered in the trial, even though the parties who provided the money were not present to clarify. This fact further strengthens the suspicion of abuse of power in the legal process carried out by the suspects.

Not only Bintoro, several other police officers involved in this case also received various sanctions. AKBP Gogo Galesung and Ipda Novian Dimas were demoted for eight years, while the fate of AKP Mariana is still awaiting the trial decision. This firm action demonstrates the commitment of the police to take action against ethical violations committed by its members.

Check out the summary from Liputan6.com from various sources on Saturday (8/2/2025) to learn more about interesting facts surrounding the case of AKBP Bintoro.

1. Chronology of the Extortion Case Involving AKBP Bintoro

This case emerged after Arif Nugroho and Muhammad Bayu Hartanto, two suspects in a murder and rape case, reported alleged extortion involving AKBP Bintoro with a staggering amount of over Rp 100 million. The report triggered further legal action, with a civil lawsuit filed in the South Jakarta District Court on January 7, 2025, demanding the return of luxury assets and compensation for unlawful actions.

Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) also did not remain silent, highlighting Bintoro's involvement in this extortion practice, which further strengthened the allegations of ethical violations against the former police officer. Not only Bintoro, several other police officers were also forced to face severe sanctions, including dismissal and demotion, due to their involvement in this scandal that shook the police institution.

2. Ethics Hearing and Dismissal Decision

The ethics hearing that shook the Metro Jaya Police took place on Friday, February 7, 2025, where AKBP Bintoro was the main focus. In this tense forum, the KKEP council thoroughly examined various shocking facts, including the flow of money received by Bintoro and his associates.

Not only Bintoro, but AKP Zakaria also had to bear heavy consequences with his dismissal, after it was revealed that he was aware of the ins and outs of managing money from the murder suspect. This firm decision shows that abuse of authority within the police force will not be tolerated.

Meanwhile, the fate of several other members, such as AKBP Gogo Galesung and Ipda Novian Dimas, was no better; they were sentenced to demotion for eight years as a form of sanction for their involvement in this scandal.

3. Regrets and Tears of AKBP Bintoro

In an emotional moment at the KKEP session of the Metro Jaya Police, AKBP Bintoro could not hold back his tears upon hearing the decision of his dishonorable dismissal (PTDH). Although his heart was filled with regret, he refused to give up easily.

With a burning fighting spirit, Bintoro is determined to appeal, even though he is aware that the chances of overturning the decision are very slim, given the evidence that has been presented before the panel of judges.

4. The Impact of the Extortion Case on the Image of the National Police

The extortion case involving AKBP Bintoro and several other police officers has created a wave of concern among the public regarding the integrity and professionalism of the National Police institution. This incident has not only drawn sharp attention but also tested public trust in law enforcement.

With firm action in the form of PTDH sanctions, it is hoped that similar incidents will not recur and public trust can be restored. The National Police need to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the internal oversight system to prevent violations of the code of ethics and abuse of power.

Furthermore, transparency and accountability in law enforcement are key to rebuilding public trust. Hopefully, this case serves as a valuable lesson for all members of the National Police to always uphold the law and professional ethics.
