How law enforcers handle corruption cases<\/p>\n
Are the police and prosecutors seriously investigating a Rp
\n1.3 trillion embezzlement case at state bank BNI? The answer is
\nyes and no.<\/p>\n
Police and prosecutors usually gather data for the case files
\nof suspects before filing formal charges. Not for Adrian Herling
\nWaworuntu, though. Adrian had been detained for 120 days but was
\nlater freed because police could not find any evidence of his
\nalleged involvement in the embezzlement case.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the key witness in the case, Maria Pauline Lumowa,
\nhas fled to Singapore, without any effort on the part of the
\npolice to stop her.<\/p>\n
Adrian's release shows that he is untouchable. His case file
\nhas been changed six times, and it seems that it will never be
\ncompleted.<\/p>\n
The anticorruption commission, saying it could no longer stand
\nhow the police and prosecutors were handling the case, threatened
\nto take over the investigation. However, before the commission
\nwas able to act, the police issued a statement that Adrian was
\nnot engaged in corruption but in money laundering, hence the
\ncommission had no authority to question him.<\/p>\n
The law states that a man who is not willing to act as a
\nwitness in court can be jailed. However, it seems that this
\napplies only to some people, but not to Adrian.<\/p>\n
As such, we would like to ask the National Police chief and
\nthe attorney general how serious they are about investigating
\nAdrian's case. -- Media Indonesia, Jakarta<\/p>",
