BNI suspect uses cash transactions

JAKARTA: The police have apparently being facing difficulties in gathering evidence on one of the key suspects in the Bank Nasional Indonesia (BNI) scandal, Adrian Waworuntu, as most of the transactions that he engaged in involved cash rather than bank transfers.

"We have returned his case file four times as the police failed to submit bank transaction records in Adrian's name," Marwan Effendi, a special crimes prosecutor at the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office, told The Jakarta Post Wednesday.

He added that he was waiting for evidence showing that Adrian received money from Maria Pauline Lumowa, the main suspect in the scandal, who is still at large in Singapore. --JP
