Eddy Tansil's escape

From the very beginning, it was easy to understand that Eddy Tansil sooner or later was going to escape or be given a chance to walk out of prison. It would have been impossible for him to spend 20 years in prison.

Eddy Tansil would have been very disappointed and resentful knowing that those who received so many billions rupiah from him (as revealed by Amien Rais in Republika three weeks ago) are enjoying their unlawful wealth, while he was imprisoned. He surely did not want this to happen to him. Moreover, Eddy Tansil still owns an ocean of wealth somewhere.

The people who profited from the illegal deal would want Eddy Tansil out of jail in case he blabbed their names. It is therefore no surprise that Eddy Tansil enjoyed special treatment in prison. It is also logical that Eddy Tansil had to escape from prison. It must have been engineered in order to erase the evidence. Eddy Tansil is now a fugitive, and let's see how the drama will end. The result may not be very surprising.
