Two more dossiers on BNI scandal rejected<\/p>\n
P.C. Naommy, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Prosecutor's Office is to return on Thursday the case
\nfiles submitted by the police last week on Nurcahyo and Haris Is
\nHartono, two of 16 suspects in the Rp 1.7 trillion financial
\nfraud involving Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), the Gramarindo Group
\nand the Petindo Group.<\/p>\n
Nurcahyo is former deputy of BNI Region X, while Haris is from
\nPT Mahesa, a subsidiary of PT Gramarindo.<\/p>\n
The assistant for special crimes at the Jakarta Prosecutor's
\nOffice, Marwan Effendi, told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday that
\nthey would reject the two dossiers because they were incomplete.<\/p>\n
\"We are currently formulating several instructions to police
\nconcerning the missing information. We will return them
\n(dossiers) to the police tomorrow,\" said Marwan.<\/p>\n
Marwan said prosecutors had notified police regarding
\nNurcahyo's and Haris' case files and that they needed to be
\ncompleted less than a week after their return.<\/p>\n
According to Marwan, prosecutors must inform the police of an
\nincomplete status of a dossier within the maximum 14-day review
\nperiod after it is submitted.<\/p>\n
As was the case with the dossier for Adrian Wowuruntu, a key
\nsuspect in the fraud, the dossiers on Nurcahyo and Haris did not
\nprovide strong enough evidence to support an indictment, and thus
\n\"failed to prove the involvement of the accused in committing the
\ncrime\", said Marwan.<\/p>\n
Article 183 of the Criminal Code states that police must
\npresent evidence that a criminal action actually took place and
\nthat the suspect in question was responsible for that action.<\/p>\n
Marwan said the dossiers did not contain enough documents nor
\nexpert witnesses to support the charges.<\/p>\n
Of the 10 dossiers that have been submitted on the fraud case,
\nonly four dossiers covering nine suspects have been approved by
\nthe prosecutor.<\/p>\n
As of March 31, four of the six remaining dossiers -- on
\nHaris, Nurcahyo, Adrian and Rudi -- were still awaiting the
\nprosecutors' response, while the other two -- one on John Hamenda
\nand the other on Jeffrey and Yudi Baso -- were deemed incomplete.<\/p>\n
\"We will be very careful in examining the four dossiers and
\nmake an optimum effort to finish them, because we don't want
\npeople to think negatively about us,\" said Marwan.<\/p>\n
National Police chief of detectives Insp. Gen. Suyitno Landung
\nSoedjono said earlier that police were running forensic tests on
\nseveral documents belonging to Jeffrey and Yudi Baso that could
\nprove Adrian's involvement in the scandal.<\/p>\n
\"The examination is to determine the authenticity of the
\ndocuments and whether the signatures on them really belong to the
\nsuspect (Adrian),\" he added.<\/p>\n
The legal detention period of the four suspects in custody of
\nthe National Police will expire soon; Nurcahyo, Rudi Sutopo (from
\nPT Mahesa) and John Hamenda (owner of the Petindo Group), will be
\nreleased in April, and Haris in May.<\/p>",
