Accused cop gets career enhancement

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: A top police officer from North
Central Timor regency was replaced earlier this week following
reports from local religious and community leaders that he had
allegedly backed gambling dens and extorted local businessmen.

However, Comr. Marthen Radja, the spokesman for the East Nusa
Tenggara provincial police, denied that the replacement was
linked to pressure from the community leaders.

He said that the replacement of Adj. Sr. Comr. Puji Santoso,
as chief of the North Central Timor police, was an ordinary
rotation of duty. "He will now enter the career enhancement
program in Jakarta," said Marthen. -- JP
