Police seek PT DI executive

BANDUNG: A special team has been deployed by Bandung Police to
hunt down PT Dirgantara Indonesia president director Edwin
Sudarmo who was sentenced to two months in prison for violating a
manpower law on dismissing workers.

Chief of Bandung Police, Sr. Comr. Edmon Ilyas said on
Wednesday that the police were assisting the prosecutor's office
in arresting Edwin whose whereabouts was unknown following the
verdict in January this year.

Edwin was found guilty under Law No. 22/1957 on solving
workers' disputes for not paying severance pay as regulated by
the manpower ministry. However, the execution of the verdict was
issued by the prosecutor's office only after the Supreme Court
rejected Edwin's appeal in mid July.

"We received a letter from the prosecutor's office requesting
backup. So we seeking information on his whereabouts," Edmon
said.

He said Edwin has not been spotted in the vicinity of his
house in Gegerkalong Permai housing complex and phone calls or
text messages to the convict were not responded to. -- JP
