Public Figures Recall Last Visits and Discussions
In the wake of his death, public figures shared memories of their interactions with the retired general. Tifauzia Tyassuma, known as Dr. Tifa, posted a tribute on X, recalling a visit to his home just a week prior to his passing. Tifa described Napoleon as a supportive figure who provided guidance and a listening ear during her own legal troubles.
Despite his retirement and subsequent legal controversies, Napoleon remained engaged in personal discussions with peers. Tifa noted that both Napoleon and his wife frequently welcomed visitors with warmth, leaving her unaware that their recent meeting would be the last.
Police Career and Corruption Conviction
Napoleon built a career within the Indonesian National Police. His past assignments included serving as the Head of Conventional Cooperation for the NCB Interpol Indonesia Secretariat, Deputy Director of Special Crimes for the South Sumatra Regional Police, and Director of Special Crimes for the DI Yogyakarta Regional Police, prior to leading the International Relations Division in 2020.
His career later became overshadowed by legal proceedings. In March 2021, the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court sentenced Napoleon to four years in prison and a Rp100 million fine for accepting bribes to remove the name of corruption fugitive Djoko Tjandra from the Interpol red notice list. He later secured conditional release in April 2023.
Assault Case During Detention
While serving time in custody at the Bareskrim Polri detention center in August 2021, Napoleon became involved in a separate criminal case. He assaulted Muhammad Kece, a detainee, and smeared human waste on his face.
For that offense, the South Jakarta District Court sentenced Napoleon to five months and 15 days in prison in September 2022. Napoleon Bonaparte obtained conditional release on April 17, 2023.
