Nasdem Politicians Allegedly Deposited IDR 370 Million for Papuan KKB Weapons

An unscrupulous National Democratic (Nasdem) politician who is the chairman of the Tolikara Regency DPRD with the initials SAW is suspected of having deposited money to Ratius Murib alias Neson Murib.

It is suspected that this amount of money will be used to buy weapons used by the Papuan Armed Criminal Group (KKB) to carry out rebellions against the government.

Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius D Fakhiri said Ratius Murib acted as a supplier of firearms for the Papuan KKB in Puncak Jaya Regency.

Meanwhile, Head of the Nemangkawi Public Relations Task Force, Kombes M Iqbal Alqudusy revealed that SAW's involvement was revealed after Ratius Murib was arrested in Puncak Jaya Regency on Monday (13/6/2021).

From the examination of Ratius Murib, it was revealed several things that led to the involvement of politicians and the Puncak Jaya Regency Government (Pemkab) in assisting the Papuan KKB led by Lekagak Telenggen.

"We are still conducting investigations regarding the transaction evidence found, including whether or not the flow of funds to Lekagak Telenggen," said Kombes M Iqbal Alqudusy.

From the investigator's investigation, said Iqbal, SAW handed over Rp 370 million to Ratius Murib at the Metta Star Waena Hotel, Jayapura City, in mid-April 2021.

"Neson Murib received the money directly," he said.

In addition to cash, the police also found records of assistance from the Puncak Jaya Regency Government of Rp 600 million for the KKB leader, Lekagak Telenggen, on February 6, 2021.

Not only that, in the notebook brought by Ratius Murib, it was revealed that there was a rejection of Papua's Special Autonomy (Otsus).

"All names with evidence of the transfer will definitely be called by investigators," he said.

Regarding Ratius Murib's arrest, Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius Fakhiri revealed that Ratius Murib had repeatedly transacted the sale and purchase of illegal firearms and ammunition.

"The total that was sent and received was Rp 1.3 billion," said Fakhiri.

According to him, it is strongly suspected that the money will be used to buy firearms in Mimika Regency.

"Why did he bring up to Rp. 370 million of money. The information we got was that he wanted to meet his acquaintances in Timika. Most likely it was to buy weapons," said Fakhiri.

Fakhiri stated that Neson Murib's presence in Puncak Jaya was because he was in transit before flying back to Mimika.

Meanwhile, until this news was published, the Tolikara Regency NasDem party officials could not be contacted.

Previously, Ratius was arrested at Mulia Airport, Puncak Jaya Regency, who was looking for firearms and ammunition for the KKB led by Lekagak Telenggen.

"RM (Ratius Murib) has confessed to investigators, including the flow of funds obtained to buy rifles and ammunition," Inspector General Mathius D Fakhiri told ANTARA.

The regional police chief said that investigators were still investigating the confession of Ratius, who was arrested on Tuesday (15/6/2021) when he was about to fly to Timika.
