Theo, alleged victims fail to show up

JAKARTA: The former chairman of the Investment Coordinating
Board (BKPM), Theo Toemion, and two of his alleged assault
victims failed to appear at city police headquarters on Monday
for questioning.

City police spokesman Sr. Comr. Tjiptono said none of the
three provided the police with an explanation for their failure
to answer the summons.

"This is just the first summon. We will invite them again and
we hope they can come sometime this week," said Tjiptono.

Police summoned Theo and two foreigners, identified as CR and
DM, to shed light on an alleged assault at the Jakarta
International School (JIS) in South Jakarta on April 17.

Theo allegedly slapped CR, a 14-year-old boy who refereed a
basketball game in which Theo's youngest son participated. DM was
the coordinator for the basketball game.

Police have so far questioned a U.S. citizen, identified as
TR, who said he saw Theo assault the boy on April 17.

Officers also have questioned Second Brig. Sofyan, a member of
the city police's vital objects protection unit, Riyo Santoso,
the head of security at JIS, and two security guards at the
school, Tatang and Junaedy. All four were on duty at the school
at the time of the incident. --JP
