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
