Twelve have been apprehended at the Jakarta Military Command Authorities in Central Jakarta, while 19 others were sent out to other detention centers belonging to the Army after being questioned, he stated.

The four-star basic more explained that each officer involved in the event would be charged under various short articles of the Armed force Bad Guy Code.
” It’s much better to lose 31 or any variety of personnel who were involved in the attack rather than have the TNI ' s reputation stained by reckless actions that do not represent the promises of the Indonesian Armed force,” he stated.
Andika also ensured that all charged workers would compensate the victims for any injuries and losses they suffered.
” There would be a system that guarantees they pay for the damages. The Jakarta Military commander [Maj. Gen. Dudung Abdurachman] will compute the damages caused by the incident and he will report it to me.”
