The National Police denied on Sunday a Wikileaks statement about an alleged police relationship with the Islam Defenders Front (FPI).

“Wikileaks data is false, inaccurate and obtained without facts,” National Police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar said as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Wikileaks revealed that former National Police chief Gen. (ret.) Sutanto, now the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) chief, was an FPI financial donor.

It said Sutanto funded the FPI prior to an FPI attack against the US Embassy in Jakarta in February 2006, but he discontinued funding after the incident.


“A senior BIN officer, Yahya Asagaf, said that Sutanto considered FPI ‘an attack dog’,” Wikileaks said.

Wikileaks also stated that funding the FPI had become common practice for both the National Police and BIN.
