More Tommy's file to go to prosecutors

JAKARTA: Police revealed on Friday that they plan to submit
more of the case file on the ex-fugitive Hutomo "Tommy" Mandala
Putra to the Jakarta Provincial Prosecutors' Office next week.

Jakarta Police detectives chief Sr. Comr. Bambang Hendarso
Danuri said the file dealt with Tommy's flight from justice and
the people who aided and abetted Tommy, the youngest son of
former president Soeharto, during his escape.

"We hope to submit the file next week. We are now in the
process of adding the finishing touches," said Bambang.

Police have so far mentioned the names of artist Sandy Harun,
Cana alias Hasan, and her son Bill Haque as suspects. If
convicted, they could face a maximum of nine months in jail under
Article 221 of the Criminal Code.

Tommy himself has been incarcerated in Cipinang penitentiary
in East Jakarta since Feb. 20 after being arrested on Nov. 28,
2001. However, he still enjoys special privileges, including
having a TV set, private bathroom and a bed with a foam mattress.
