Dossiers on BNI suspects completed

JAKARTA: The National Police submitted to the Jakarta
Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday two files of dossiers on nine
suspects in the Rp 1.7 trillion (US$200 billion) BNI scam, after
more than five months of investigation.

The dossier on former BNI Kebayoran Baru branch operational
manager Nirwan Ali was revised after prosecutors deemed it
incomplete early last month.

The other file comprises dossiers on eight suspects linked to
PT Gramarindo, National Police deputy spokesperson Brig. Gen.
Soenarko D.A. told a media conference.

The eight were Jeffry Baso, Aprilia Widarta, Yudi Baso, Ollah
Abdullah Agam, Adrian Lumowa, Richard Kontul, Titik Tristiwanti
and Jane Iriani Lumowa.

In addition to two dossiers on former BNI Kebayoran Baru
branch manager Kusadiyuwono and former Kebayoran Baru branch
foreign customer head Edi Santoso, state prosecutors have so far
received dossiers on 11 BNI suspects.

Prosecutors will have two weeks to study the dossiers before
declaring the suspects ready for trial.

Police have named 16 suspects involved in the scam, one of
whom, Maria Pauline Lumowa, remains at large. -- JP
