Ferdy Sambo (/ˈsæmboʊ/; born 9 February 1973) is a former high-ranking Indonesian National Police officer who last served as the Head of the Profession and Security Division of the Indonesian National Police with the rank of Inspector General of Police. He is known for his involvement in the murder of his aide-de-camp, Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat.[3][4] He was described as the "mastermind" of the killing, in which Hutabarat was shot 12 times with a Glock 17.[5][6]
On 13 February 2023, following a three-month trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Sambo was found guilty and sentenced to death.[7][8][9] 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.[10][11] However, in May 2023, Sambo filed a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court of Indonesia,[12] and on 8 August 2023 his sentence was commuted to one of life imprisonment.[13]
