Mangrove suspects' dossiers submitted
JAKARTA: The dossiers of three suspects in a mangrove felling
case were submitted to the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office early this
week, Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Prasetyo said on
Wednesday.
"The prosecutors are examining the dossiers and could return
them if still incomplete," he said.
City police have named Francis Moniaga from PT Rainbow Cipta
Utama ad agency, Agus Suseno from PT Grand Skylindo ad agency and
Purwadi from toll road operator PT Jasa Marga as suspects.
They were detained after questioning on May 28, but were
released three days later because it was deemed that their
release would not hamper the investigation.
The three allegedly played decisive roles in the felling of
240 mangrove trees along Prof. Dr. Sedyatmo toll road in North
Jakarta in April. The trees were part of the Muara Angke
protected forest that helps reduce the impact of annual flooding
in the area. -- JP
