Jakarta Satpol PP Investigates Alleged Extortion at Learning House

An alleged extortion case involving a member of the Satpol PP has prompted an investigation by the DKI Jakarta Satpol PP. The incident occurred at the Merah Putih learning house in Cilincing, North Jakarta, where an individual identified as Givson Samosir reportedly posed as a North Jakarta Satpol PP member.

According to Satpol PP DKI Jakarta head Satriadi Gunawan, Samosir is indeed a Satpol PP employee, but he is assigned to the East Jakarta branch, not the North Jakarta one. Samosir allegedly approached the learning house on July 6, questioning its operational permits and demanding money. He initially asked for 300,000 rupiah but was given 150,000 rupiah.

“

We firmly state that the extortion perpetrator named Givson Samosir is an Operational Staff of Expert Level for the PPNS and Operations Section of the East Jakarta City Administrative Public Order Agency, not a member of the North Jakarta Satpol PP.

Puput, a representative of the Merah Putih learning house, recounted that the perpetrator used a pseudonym, initially referring to himself as 'Aceng' or 'Acong.' The true identity of Givson Samosir was only revealed during the subsequent investigation. The alleged extortion was for 'building funds' and 'coffee money.' The East Jakarta Satpol PP is currently examining Samosir, who faces severe disciplinary action if found guilty.

“

He used a pseudonym, calling himself 'Aceng' or 'Acong.' The name of the gentleman, a friend of the Satpol PP who came here yesterday (to investigate), was revealed. We were afraid the name would be tarnished. Then Mr. Aceng called, video-called, 'Is this really Aceng?' No, it turns out his name is Givson.
