Investigators study Tansil case suspects<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The East Jakarta Prosecutor's Office has
\nassigned 18 prosecutors to study dossiers of a dozen suspects
\nallegedly involved in last month's escape of a convicted
\nbusinessman.<\/p>\n
\"There are six teams, each team comprising three prosecutors,
\nto handle two suspects' dossiers,\" Saleh Abdurrahman, a senior
\nprosecutor at the office, told The Jakarta Post yesterday.<\/p>\n
Head of the office, Lukman Bahmid, received the dossiers from
\nthe East Jakarta police precinct on Monday.<\/p>\n
Eddy Tansil, the boss of the giant Golden Key business group
\nwalked out of the prison and disappeared last month, supposedly
\nabetted by prison wardens. Tansil was sentenced to 20 years for
\ndefrauding state-owned Bank Pembangunan Indonesia in August 1994.<\/p>\n
Although a tycoon is involved, the Prosecutor's Office will
\nnot give special attention to the case.<\/p>\n
\"It is just a regular case, people consider it scandalous
\nbecause Eddy is involved, we would not have received particular
\nattention if a burglar escaped,\" Saleh said.<\/p>\n
Police have launched a massive search that stretches beyond
\nnational borders. Minister of Justice Oetojo Oesman has promised
\nto recapture Tansil within three months.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, National Police Chief Lt. Gen. Dibyo Widodo told
\na hearing at the House of Representatives that the police are
\ntrying to trace the whereabouts of Tansil's wife and six children
\nwho fled the country at about the same time as Eddy did.<\/p>\n
Agung Dipo, a judge appointed to handle one of the dossiers,
\nsaid that prosecutors will assess the completeness of the
\ndossiers within a week.<\/p>\n
Saleh, however, said that prosecutors will need about two
\nweeks as they had just been notified of their assignments on
\nTuesday. (14)<\/p>",
