What's happened in the Tansil case?

From Jayakarta

We still remember that one week after convict Eddy Tansil escaped from Cipinang prison the justice minister convinced us that the fugitive could be recaptured within two months. This turned out to be an arrogant statement, because up to now, even more than two months have passed and Eddy Tansil's whereabouts are still unknown.

Actually, the Jakarta Police has established a special team to search for and rearrest Eddy Tansil. His pictures have also been sent to all provincial police offices. Interpol was already asked to help arrest Eddy Tansil, should he succeed to get out of Indonesia. I wonder whether he hid in a house of a high-ranking official so that he managed to handle his money deposited in the country and abroad.

A certain psychic also predicted that Eddy Tansil would be rearrested within three weeks, even though he had the protection of a powerful gang. This prediction, too, turned out to be a failure.

I have a strong belief that Eddy Tansil's escape was engineered in such a way that the escape looked real, as it involved many important figures. I hope he is still alive.

Society has apparently begun to take little interest in Eddy Tansil's case. People have become apathetic because they know from experience that the law has lost its real value and is used as a game. The ideal of a clean and authoritative government is still far from reality.
