Tommy, ultimatum and the reward<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
The public's attention has been drawn to the police's recent
\nsuccess stories, such as the arrests of people related to drug-
\ndealing, thefts of vehicles and the latest confiscation of
\nweapons at an apartment in Pondok Indah, indicate the alleged
\nexistence of \"Tommy Ibrahim's\" criminal gang and their huge
\nfinancial support.<\/p>\n
There are a few things I still cannot comprehend or that
\nremain a \"mystery\" to me such as the funds, Tommy's bodyguards
\nand the ultimatum set by the police.<\/p>\n
If it is true that each killer of the Supreme Court justice
\nwas paid Rp 100 million, then it becomes easier to estimate the
\nhuge financial power in Tommy's hands. It is impractical to use
\nbags or briefcases to carry such large amounts every time. It is
\nmost probable that Tommy still keeps most of his money in banks
\nand in accounts using his own name, because I think that he
\nopened the accounts during his \"reign\", so no pseudonym was then
\nnecessary.<\/p>\n
Can't these accounts and the withdrawals be traced? I believe
\nthe cash withdrawals would probably be huge amounts for his daily
\nneeds, which includes paying close to forty bodyguards as his
\nprivate security personnel. Wouldn't such a crowd be an easy
\ntarget of police suspicion? Can't police intelligence detect the
\ncars they use? And why not stake out the women (once known to be)
\nclose to Tommy, who might lead to his hideout?<\/p>\n
Regarding the ultimatum recently issued by the police, my
\ncomment is that it is a pointless and futile effort, because
\nwhat's the good of an ultimatum when you can almost predict that
\nit won't be heeded anyway. And as Tommy's residence is unknown,
\nas stated by the police, then Tommy's \"disobedience\" to the
\nultimatum will only further embarrass the police department.<\/p>\n
On the reward, I think it is not clear who will rightfully get
\nit. Rather than offering rewards to anyone giving information of
\nTommy's whereabouts (which might lead to thousands of \"informers\"
\nclaiming that the addresses they have given are accurate), I
\nsuggest only those who provide specific information leading to
\nthe successful arrest of Tommy should be rightfully rewarded.<\/p>\n
