Failed Attempt to Help Former Governor of Papua Flee to the Philippines for Medical Treatment: A Case of Obstructing a Corruption Investigation

Jakarta

Apparently a lawyer former Governor of Papua Lukas Enembe, Stefanus Roy Rening, created a scenario so that his client could flee to the Philippines under the pretext of treatment for illness. However, the plan failed miserably.

This was revealed in the prosecutor’s indictment against Stefanus Roy Rening which was read out at the Jakarta Corruption Court. Wednesday (27/9/2023). Roy was charged with obstructing or attempting to thwart the investigation into a corruption case carried out by the KPK, in this case against Lukas Enembe.

“That the Defendant, either directly or by giving orders to Lukas Enembe’s legal advisory team, gave directions to Lukas Enembe, Rijatono Lakka as Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, and several witnesses, including Muhammad Ridwan Rudalamun as Regional Secretary of the Papua Provincial Government and “Wilicius as a staff member of the Auction section of PT Tabi Bangun Papua to do something in accordance with the Defendant’s directions,” said the KPK prosecutor.

The prosecutor then explained the forms of obstruction to the investigation carried out by Roy Rening. Roy is known to have instigated Lukas not to comply with the KPK’s summons for questioning on September 12 2022.

“Regarding the KPK investigator’s summons to Lukas Enembe, in that meeting Lukas Enembe stated that he would comply with the KPK investigator’s summons by saying, come on, let’s face him. However, at that time the Defendant prevented Lukas Enembe from complying with the KPK investigator’s summons by giving the direction, ‘No “No, sir, no need to attend. Later you will be arrested, we will just excuse you as being sick,” explained the KPK prosecutor.

During a meeting at Lukas Enembe’s house on September 11 2022, Roy Rening also allegedly conveyed the need for mass mobilization. The crowd will later be directed to Mako Brimob Jayapura.

“During that meeting, the Defendant also said that he needed a crowd to be brought or deployed to Mako Brimob Jayapura on the day Lukas Enembe was summoned with the aim of providing support to Lukas Enembe and putting public pressure on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) because it had criminalized Lukas Enembe,” said the prosecutor.

The scenario designed by Roy Rening was successful. The Corruption Eradication Commission failed to investigate Lukas Enembe on September 12 2022 and thousands of people demonstrated in front of the Jayapura Brimob Headquarters.

“KPK investigators were unable to examine Lukas Enembe and the large number of people who held demonstrations or demonstrations at Mako Brimob Jayapura caused the investigation process at Mako Brimob to be disrupted,” explained the prosecutor.

Roy is also suspected of giving directions to the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua Rijatono Lakka regarding providing information to investigators. Roy also asked Rijatono to make a video clarifying the giving of Rp. 1 billion to Lukas.

The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) prosecutor also explained that Roy Rening played a role in providing advice to the auction staff of PT Tabi Bangun Papua Willicius not to comply with the investigator’s summons. Roy is also suspected of instigating Papua Regional Secretary Ridwan Rudalamun not to hand over Rp. 10 billion used to celebrate his son’s birthday to the Corruption Eradication Commission.

“That due to the defendant’s actions, he met and contacted Muhammad Ridwan Rudalamun by telephone and asked for information regarding the information material submitted to the KPK investigators and anyone who was examined as a witness by the KPK investigators and prevented Muhammad Ridwan Rudalamun from handing over Rp. 10 billion to the Corruption Eradication Commission investigators. “Muhammad Ridwan Rudalamun felt intimidated and felt afraid of being involved in the Lukas Enembe case,” explained the prosecutor.
