Pollycarpus to go on trial soon

JAKARTA: The case file on alleged intelligence agent
Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto, charged with involvement in the
murder of noted human rights campaigner Munir, will soon be
forwarded to the Central Jakarta District Court, prosecutors said
on Wednesday.

Attorney General's Office (AGO) spokesman R.J. Soehandojo said
his office was finalizing the Pollycarpus file with a view to
preparing the indictment against the suspect.

"There are 32 witnesses listed in the file, including
officers from the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), but I don't
remember their names," he said.

Soehandojo said that the AGO was working together with police
investigators in drafting the indictment.

Pollycarpus, one of three suspects in the Munir case so far,
will be charged with premeditated murder under Article 340 of the
Criminal Code, which carries the death penalty, and forgery under
Article 263. --JP
