Suspected police captains have not been detained
TANGERANG, West Java (JP): Police Capt. Ade Sutiana and Capt.
Unggul, who are accused of violating police rules and whose
dossiers have been handed over to the military police, are not
detained.
Head of City Police Detectives Col. Paimin Abuamr said
yesterday there is no need to detain them as they are ready to be
summoned at anytime for questioning.
Ade, the head of Tangerang police detectives, has been
dismissed from his job for his alleged negligence which led to
the escape of a female Ecstasy suspect, Zarima, in August. While
Unggul, head of the Serpong police subprecinct, has lost his job
for an alleged extortion last month.
According to Paimin, police have handed over the case of Capt.
Unggul, head of the Serpong police subprecinct in Tangerang
detained for an alleged extortion, to the Military Police for
further questioning prior to trial by military tribunal.
"The dossiers on Unggul's case was handed over recently but
the suspected officer, based on the existing laws, is not
detained," Paimin told The Jakarta Post.
"So now, we're just waiting for the result of the questioning
made by the Jakarta Military Police," said Paimin. He refused to
give further detail.
Unggul was apprehended by city police officers from the
Internal Affairs division for his alleged role in extorting money
from a 70-year-old man suspected of running a gambling den.
The officer had reportedly promised the suspect that he would
arrange his release provided that he (the suspect) gave him Rp 10
million (US$4,255) and a 1,000 square meter plot of land.
However, another version describes that Unggul was set up by
the local gambler, identified as Pungut, who had arranged for a
senior police officer to be present when a deal was struck with
Unggul.
It remains unknown whether Unggul, who has been dismissed from
his job, would be fired from the police force.
The investigation on Pungut and some other gamblers, who were
arrested at the same time, is also still a mystery.
Few days before Unggul was arrested, Ade had been apprehended
following the escape of an alleged female drug-trafficker,
Zarima.
Ade and dossiers related to his case have also been handed
over to the Jakarta Military office for further questioning prior
to trial at the military tribunal.
Col. Djasri M., commander of the Jakarta Military Police,
pledged to bring the case to the military court as soon as
possible.
Ade was accused of further negligence because he allowed
Zarima to take a bath while on his escort and lent his mobile
telephone to the escapee, who apparently used it to arrange her
escape.
The woman was apprehended by Ade's personnel on Aug. 7 along
with 29,677 Ecstasy pills -- worth at least Rp 1.78 billion
(US$757,700) through illicit transaction- in her possession at
her home in West Jakarta.
A reliable source said that Ade may also face criminal
charges. (bsr)
