Key BNI suspect resting at home

JAKARTA: The National Police announced on Friday that the
chief suspect in a Rp 1.7 trillion (US$190 million) scandal
involving state bank BNI was now resting comfortably at his home
in Kotamobagu, North Sulawesi, apparently to recover from an
illness.

National Police spokesman Insp Gen. Paiman told journalists
that Adrian Waworuntu wrote a letter to the police and told them
he would not be available for further questioning until he had
recovered. His doctor F. Widerungan recommended that Adrian rest
until Sept. 30, but did not go into detail about the nature of
his ailment.

"The letter only says that he is ill," said Paiman.

Paiman said Adrian's lawyer guaranteed their client would
comply with a police summons for questioning. --JP
