Ahmad Luthfi

Last updated

After two years serving in Batang, Luthfi was appointed as the deputy intelligence director of the Central Java Police. [4] A year later, on 11 April 2011, Luthfi was installed as the deputy police chief of Surakarta. [5] During this period, Luthfi maintained relations with Surakarta's mayor, Joko Widodo, who later become the president of Indonesia. Luthfi's relations with Joko Widodo prompted experts to identify him as part of the Solo Gang, a group of Indonesian police and military active in Surakarta during Widodo's mayoralty who were promoted into high-ranking positions during Widodo's presidency. Luthfi served as deputy to two different police chiefs: Nana Sudjana  [ id ] and Listyo Sigit Prabowo. [6]

Luthfi received a promotion to the rank of chief commissioner at the end of his tenure as deputy police chief. He was reassigned to the Profession and Security Division and the Police Education and Training Institute. [1] In February 2015, Luthfi returned to Surakarta along with his appointment as the police chief of Surakarta. [7]

On 5 July 2016, a suicide bomb exploded in front of Luthfi's office in the police station. The bomb resulted in the death of the bomber and a policewoman suffering light wounds from the shrapnels. After the bombings, Luthfi encouraged Surakarta residents to continue their activity as usual. [8]

Jakarta

Luthfi was replaced from his position as police chief of Surakarta by Ribut Hari Wibowo from the East Java police on 14 March 2017. He was assigned to Jakarta as analyst for socio-cultural affairs in the central intelligence and security services. [9]

Central Java

Luthfi was later appointed as the deputy chief of Central Java police lon 21 March 2018 [10] and received a promotion to the rank of police brigadier general on 4 April. [11] His appointment as deputy chief was criticized by the Indonesia Police Watch, who considered Luthfi as lacking experience to hold the post. [12]

About two years later, he was promoted as the police chief of Central Java on 8 May 2020. [13] Indonesian Police Watch described Luthfi's appointment as "phenomenal", as it was the first time a non-police academy graduate became the police chief of the province. [14] He left the position after four years of service on 29 July 2024. [15]

Inspector General of the Ministry of Trade

In June 2024, the central police announced that Ahmad Luthfi was nominated as the inspector general of the ministry of trade and that his appointment is still awaiting confirmation from the president and the assessment of his competence tests. [16] The nomination sparked criticism from the IPW, who questioned the lack of qualified bureaucrats available to fill the post. Luthfi's appointment was made possible through the TNI/Polri law, which was enacted several months prior to his nomination and paved the way for police and military officers to held civilian posts. [17] Luthfi's nomination continued despite the sustained criticism, and he was installed as inspector general of the trade ministry on 14 August 2024. [18] Prior to his inauguration, he had already been promoted to a three-star police commissioner general on 29 July. [19]
