Police to probe Tommy conspiracy<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: National Police chief Gen. Da'i Bachtiar has ordered a
\nteam from the Jakarta Police to probe alleged collusion between
\nformer president Soeharto's youngest son Hutomo \"Tommy\" Mandala
\nPutra and security personnel when the former was on the run.<\/p>\n
\"The team has been given a month to investigate the case,\"
\nDa'i said after observing a rehearsal for the commemoration of
\nthe National Police's anniversary at the Senayan parking lot here
\non Saturday.<\/p>\n
Tommy, who went into hiding in November 2000 shortly after he
\nwas convicted of graft and sentenced to 18 months in jail, told
\nthe court last Wednesday that he was free to go wherever he
\nwanted, even though he was on the run, thanks to \"cooperation\"
\nwith security personnel.<\/p>\n
He said he frequently stayed in his luxurious home on Jl.
\nCendana in Central Jakarta when he was still a fugitive, although
\nsecurity personnel had cordoned off the area.<\/p>\n
\"I frequently went home to Cendana because it was safe there
\nas I was coordinating with security officers,\" Tommy said without
\nmentioning any names. --Antara<\/p>",
