REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The National Police investigated an alleged money laundering case of Aksi Bela Islam funds by the National Movement to Safeguard Indonesian Ulema Council's Fatwa (GNPF MUI). The police should also investigate the same funds for Teman Ahok, said police observer Bambang Widodo Umar.

"Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) should also involve though it is not instructed," said Bambang to Republika.co.id on Saturday.

But, Bambang had not seen KPK investigate the sources of the fund, both for Aksi Bela Islam or Teman Ahok.  He said, if KPK was independent and objective, it should help the police even without any request. 

Bambang added, the most important thing was that the police should be independent, professional, and objective in processing the case. The police should avoid any intervention.

"They should consider the valid evidence, witnesses, and statements," he said.

The legal advisor of GNPF MUI Kapitra Ampera said the fund in the bank account of Yayasan Keadilan untuk Semua was not collected from crime.  It was donations from many societies for the Aksi Bela Islam. 

Kapitra said the donation was open on September 29, 2016. The money Rp 600 millions was taken on November 8, 2016 for medical treatment, hospital payment, and treatment of victims of 411 rally. Money of Rp 100 million was also used for the donation to Syafii who died during the rally.
