Police to join new illegal logging team

JAKARTA: The National Police said on Tuesday they will submit
four names to the Military Police chief as members of a joint
team that will handle illegal logging cases.

The government plans to set up the team to deal with legal
procedures for illegal logging trials since most suspects came
from different backgrounds, including police and military
personnel and civil servants, and different procedures are
required in handling their cases.

National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Aryanto Boedihardjo said
the four proposed officers were Sr. Comr. Alpiner Sinaga, Adj.
Sr. Comr. Yerrit Maryono, Comr. Yafit Parembang and Adj. Comr.
Mugiyono -- all investigators of the special crimes division at
the National Police Headquarters.

The four officers will assist other team members from the
Attorney General's Office and the Indonesian Military. Military
Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Hendardji will reportedly lead the
team. -- JP
