Puspom Has Not Yet Examined Andrie Yunus in the Acid Attack Case

Head of TNI Public Relations Centre Brigadier General Aulia Dwi Nasrullah stated that investigators from the TNI Military Police Centre (Puspom) have not yet examined Andrie Yunus in the acid attack case that befell him at the end of March. Aulia explained that Puspom TNI has sent a request letter to the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) to examine Andrie Yunus. However, he said, LPSK did not grant permission for Puspom investigators to meet Andrie. “We have sent a letter to LPSK to request information from the witness-victim. The response (from LPSK) is still related to health issues,” he said when met at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Thursday, 16 April 2026. Nevertheless, the Andrie Yunus case has now been handed over to the Jakarta Military Court II-08. Aulia said that further details regarding the circumstances of the case will be explored during the trial. Previously, the Military Prosecutor Il-07 Jakarta handed over Andrie’s case file to the Jakarta Military Court II-08 today, Thursday, 16 April 2026. This handover follows the submission of the case file for four TNI soldier suspects from the Puspom TNI investigation results. Head of Military Prosecutor II-07 Jakarta Colonel Corps of Law (Chk) Andri Wijaya claimed that the motive for the acid attack by the four suspects was personal revenge. “Up to now, what we have explored through the Examination Minutes (BAP) is that the motive carried out by the defendants is still personal revenge against brother AY,” said Andri during a press conference at the Jakarta Military Court II-08 on Thursday. Based on information from the Military Police Centre, there are four perpetrators of the attack. They are NDP, SL, BHW, and ES, from the air and naval branches. NDP holds the rank of captain, SL and BHW are first lieutenants, while ES is a second sergeant. In this case, the Military Prosecutor 07-II Jakarta will charge the perpetrators with layered articles. The layered articles referred to are Article 469 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (KUHP) in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of the KUHP. Then, Article 468 paragraph (1) KUHP in conjunction with Article 20 letter c KUHP, and Article 467 paragraph (1) in conjunction with paragraph (2) KUHP in conjunction with Article 20 letter c KUHP. Both articles regulate acts of assault causing serious injury and premeditated assault, with a penalty threat of 4-8 years imprisonment. Meanwhile, the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD) has asked the Head of the Jakarta Military Court 11-07 to reject the Andrie Yunus case file. TAUD stated that the process of compiling the case file was not transparent and accountable, thus not fulfilling a sense of justice for the victim. TAUD representative Muhammad Isnur said that Andrie has never received official information regarding the progress of the investigation from the Military Prosecutor or the TNI Military Police Centre (Puspom). “Andrie Yunus himself as the victim has expressed his objection to his case being processed in the military court because it is a den of impunity,” said Isnur in a press statement on Thursday, 16 April 2026.
