inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. On Thursday (2/26/2026), the Damai Cartenz Operation Task Force handed over Natan Matuan, a member of the armed criminal group (KKB) involved in several cases of violence in Yahukimo Regency, to the Wamena District Attorney's Office.

The Damai Cartenz Operation Task Force Head, Brigadier General Faizal Rahmadani, stated that Natan Matuan was handed over after investigators at the Wamena District Attorney's Office declared the case file complete.

Before being handed over to the prosecutor's office, Natan was flown to Wamena under tight security.

Natan Matuan, a member of the KKB, is suspected of violating Article 2 Paragraph (1) of Emergency Law Number 12 of 1951 regarding the alleged possession of sharp weapons that occurred in December 2025 in Dekai District, Yahukimo Regency.

Although the case has been handed over to the prosecutor's office, the team continues to develop the case to investigate possible links to other networks and activities that could potentially disrupt security.

"We will take firm action against any criminal acts that lead to separatist efforts and threaten the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," said Brigadier General Faizal.

According to him, action against armed criminal groups is part of the state's commitment to protecting the public and maintaining public security and order.

"Law enforcement against armed criminal groups is a form of state presence in maintaining public security and is carried out firmly and measuredly, while remaining within the framework of legality and accountability," said Brigadier General Faizal.
