Syamsu Djalal, who at the time was commander of the Military Police, holding the rank of major-general, tried to have Prabowo Subianto court-martialed. But Fachrul Razi, who at that time was the Armed Forces (ABRI) chief of general staff with the rank of lieutenant-general, prevented him from doing so.
