Police investigate report against Tomy

Police investigate report against Tomy

JAKARTA: Police began on Wednesday questioning Tempo weekly
employees as witnesses in the perjury case filed by the
publication against businessman Tomy Winata.

The weekly's chief editor Bambang Harymurti said that police
should respond to their complaints as quickly as they responded
to Tomy's report against Tempo last year.

"Police responded to Tomy's report only one day after he filed
the complaint while it took them four weeks to respond to us,"
Bambang said.

"We reported Tomy for perjury because he denied in court that
he had been interviewed over the phone by our reporter, while we
have the tape of his voice, the telephone company's record and
expert confirmation of his voice," said Bambang. --JP
