Sjamsul ordered to return soon

JAKARTA (JP): Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes
Bachtiar Fachri Nasution has instructed tycoon Sjamsul Nursalim,
a suspect in the mismanagement of the Rp 10 trillion (US$1
billion) Bank Indonesian Liquidity Support (BLBI) fund, to return
to Indonesia immediately.

"I have ordered Sjamsul Nursalim to return to Indonesia
immediately...And his family have promised that he will soon
return to Indonesia after he gets wells," Bachtiar said, as
quoted by Antara.

Sjamsul left for Japan on May 30, 2001 for medial treatment
following a permit issued by the Attorney General's Office. The
permit expired on June 25, 2001, but Sjamsul has yet to return to
Indonesia.

The government slapped an overseas travel ban on Sjamsul on
Dec. 22, 2000. He was also detained as from April 22, 2001, but
his detention was postponed as he was required to undergo
treatment at Medistra Hospital in South Jakarta.

The Attorney General's Office later allowed him to undergo
treatment in Japan following recommendations from his Japanese
doctor, a doctor at Medistra Hospital as well as his lawyers.
