Rachmadi ignores police summons

JAKARTA: Bambang N. Rachmadi, president director of PT
McDonald's Indonesia, failed to appear at the Jakarta Police
Headquarters on Thursday for questioning as a suspect in a Rp 40
billion graft case related to the state-owned social security
company PT Jamsostek.

His lawyer did not even shown up to give any explanation about
Bambang's absence.

City police chief Insp. Gen. Makbul Padmanegara said Bambang
was still in Australia, and that the police would send him
another letter of summons.

It was the second time that Bambang, who is the son-in-law of
the former Vice President Sudharmono, failed to go to the police
headquarters.

Makbul said that if Bambang still ignored the next summons, or
to failed to return to Indonesia, then the police would ask
Interpol to arrest Bambang.

Currently, two other suspects involved in the scam, the former
president director of Jamsostek, Akmal Muchsin, and the former
treasury director, Horas Simatupang, are in detention at the city
police headquarters. --JP
