Haryogi's dossiers to go to court soon

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Police will soon submit the dossiers of
Haryogi M. Maulani over his alleged weapons possession to the
West Jakarta District Court, an officer at the city police
special crimes unit said.

"It is nearly perfect. We just have to make a few alterations
before handing it over to the court. I can't give you the exact
date now, but it's going to happen really soon," the officer who
requested anonymity said.

"We have questioned 13 people over the incident... we are
really glad this will finally be over soon."

Haryogi, son of Lt. Gen. (ret) Zaini Azhar Maulani, former
chief of State Intelligence Coordinating Body (Bakin), was caught
red-handed with possession of an AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova)
rifle and a Walther Colt gun, on Feb. 16 this year.

As reported earlier, police have questioned a number of
witnesses, including Deputy IV of Bakin Brig. Gen. Soetopo, who
allegedly signed the permit for the possession of the AK-47
rifle, and retired military officer Col. Jalil, who used to work
for BIA (Intelligence Body of the then Indonesian Armed Forces).

Earlier, the questioning officer said police often had trouble
understanding what Haryogi said during the questioning.

"Haryogi has had some 13 surgeries on his larynx and when he
speaks we can't always understand what he is saying," the officer
said.

The AK-47 rifle with serial number 4857, had neither bullets
nor the magazine. The Colt Walther of number 271759 was complete
with the magazine and bullets.

Police also found a small packet containing white powder when
Haryogi was arrested on the 10th floor of a hotel in West
Jakarta, at about 2 a.m. on Feb. 16.

The arrest was made by officers of the Tamansari Police
subprecinct.

In an unrelated development, police sources said National
Police chief of traffic police Col. Nyoman Sukesna was being
questioned by city police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Basyir Achmad
Barmawi in connection with the issuance of license number B 1 MA,
which earlier belonged to a city resident and was allegedly sold
to National Police deputy chief Maj. Gen. Bimantoro for an
unspecified price. (ylt)
