The claim links the four soldiers to acid attacks on both Andrie Yunus and Muhammad Rosidi, but available evidence indicates the four soldiers were charged specifically for the March 12, 2026 attack on Andrie Yunus. The Muhammad Rosidi case is a separate incident; no source found confirms the same four soldiers were charged in connection with Rosidi's attack.
The four soldiers were named as Sami Lakka, Nandala Dwi Prasetya, Budhi Hariyanto Widhi Cahyono, and Edi Sudarko, all from the Indonesian Military's Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS TNI).
The four were ultimately convicted and sentenced on June 10, 2026 (after the session date), receiving prison terms.
Only secondary news sources were available; no primary official Indonesian court or military document was accessed.
