Malaysian National Demands Ethics Hearing for Kombes Fahrurozi Over Investment Fraud

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - A Malaysian national, referred to as SYF, through his attorney Bagas Pangestu Pribadi, is demanding a schedule for an ethics hearing against police officer Kombes Fahrurozi.

SYF is a victim of an alleged gold investment scam worth IDR 58.5 billion, which is reportedly linked to Fahrurozi.

"Today we are here to inquire about when the ethics hearing for the defendant will take place, considering that the special placement period will end on October 23," said Bagas after visiting the Indonesian National Police Headquarters in South Jakarta on Tuesday (20/10/2026).

He explained that the special placement (patsus) that Fahrurozi has been undergoing since September will soon come to an end.

He emphasized that the inquiry regarding the ethics hearing schedule was to obtain clarity, not to rush the proceedings or influence the results.

"As we understand from Police Regulation No. 7 of 2022, the KKEP hearing should be held no later than 14 working days after the decision to form the KKEP is issued. We hope this process proceeds according to the regulations set by the Police, and we will continue to monitor its progress," he stated.

Meanwhile, Bagas was reluctant to speculate on the internal processes of the Police regarding the ethics hearing for Fahrurozi.

"We do not wish to speculate on internal processes that are not our jurisdiction. What we can say is that we hope the procedures move according to the applicable regulations," he remarked.

Bagas stated that his side has been following several stages since the report was filed. These stages include special placement by the Professional and Security Division (Divpropam) of the National Police, questioning the suspect as a witness at the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) of the National Police, checking the mining site in North Sulawesi, and conducting preliminary ethics investigations.

Regarding the status of Fahrurozi or the developments in the alleged criminal case, Bagas requested that any further information be confirmed with the National Police Headquarters.

"Concerning the status of Kombes F and developments in this alleged criminal case, please ask the National Police Headquarters. We have not received information regarding an elevation of status to a suspect," he stated.
