Dibyo to attend joint forum

JAKARTA (JP): National Police Chief Gen. Dibyo Widodo
confirmed last night that he would attend the upcoming
coordination meeting with heads of the Supreme Court and Attorney
General's Office.

"Of course I will go, I'm the police chief, right," he said.

Doubts surrounding Dibyo's attendance followed several recent
disputes between police and the Attorney General's Office over
the handling of some investigations.

The matters involved corruption allegations leveled against
three former Bank Indonesia directors and the alleged violation
of investigation procedures by three prosecutors.

The routine meeting is to be held in Jakarta on Feb. 5.

"We hope that we reach agreement on many things which can be
used to deal with some obstacles," Dibyo said.

But he refused to elaborate on the obstacles or the possible
solutions which would be discussed at the meeting.

"I can't talk about that because the meeting has not started.
We'll announce whatever we've agreed on later if it has been
ratified by all of us in the meeting.

"One thing is for sure," he said. "The relationship between
the police, Supreme Court and Attorney General's Office, as
investigators, is being developed further." (cst)
