Dossiers of BNI suspects completed

JAKARTA: The National Police has completed and submitted to
the Prosecutor's Office the dossiers of three BNI officials named
suspects in the Rp 1.7 trillion (US$200 billion) scam after more
than four months of investigation.

Prosecutors will have two weeks to study the dossiers of
former BNI Kebayoran Baru branch manager Kusadiyuwono, former
Kebayoran Baru branch operational manager Nirwan Ali and former
Kebayoran Baru branch foreign customer head Edi Santoso, then
will decide whether the cases are ready for trial or request more
evidence.

"We are completing the investigation with the hope that we can
bring these people to trial as soon as possible. But we will do
so in order and bring the (bank) officials first," National
Police chief of detectives Com. Gen. Erwin Mappaseng said on
Friday.

The police have detained 11 other suspects, who are
businesspeople.

Erwin said police had added BNI Region 10 deputy head Nurcahyo
to the list of suspects after several rounds of interrogation,
and was close to naming his superior, region head Heru Sardjono,
a suspect. -- JP
