Common card · No. 220507

Ferdy Sambo (born 9 February 1973) is a former Indonesian National Police commissioned officer who last served as the Head of the Profession and Security Division with the rank of Police General Inspector. He is known for his involvement in the murder of his aide-de-camp, Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat. He was described as the "mastermind" of the killing, in which Hutabarat was shot 12 times with a Glock 17. On 13 February 2023, following a three-month trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Sambo was found guilty and sentenced to death. On 15 February 2023, Sambo filed an appeal against his sentence, two days after his conviction. However, on 12 April 2023, the South Jakarta District Court rejected the appeal, upholding the original sentence. As a result, Sambo's execution was set to proceed as planned. However, in May 2023, Sambo filed a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court of Indonesia, and on 8 August 2023 his sentence was commuted to one of life imprisonment.
