Police probe fake banknotes case

JAKARTA: The National Police are investigating a possible link
between counterfeit banknotes found in East Java and Central Java
and a case involving National Intelligence Agency (BIN) officers.

Director of the fraud squad Brig. Gen. Andi Chaeruddin said on
Friday that the police had found similarities between the fake
notes found in the two provinces and the ones produced by BIN
agents.

The main suspect in the case, Brig. Gen. Zyaeri, chief of
staff of BIN's special division for the eradication of currency
counterfeiting, would be questioned as soon as his health
improved, Andi said, explaining that Zyaeri suffers from a heart
condition.

Andi added that the police had submitted the case file to the
Jakarta Prosecutor's Office on Friday. -- JP
