JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan has been sworn in as new deputy chief of the National Police in a close ceremony at the National Police’s headquarters, Wednesday (Apr. 22).
Chief of the National Police Gen. Badrodin Haiti led the ceremony. Badrodin earlier said that Budi Gunawan’s appointment is accordance to the recommendation from the National Police’s Rank and Promotion Council for High-Ranking Officers (Wanjakti).
Prior to the inauguration, Budi Gunawan served as the head of the National Police Educational Division (Lemdikpol).
He has earlier won a pre-trial petition against the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as the South Jakarta District Court concluded that the KPK’s decision on naming him as a graft suspect is baseless and illegitimate.(haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
