Where is the law enforcement?
One of our employees has embezzled company funds amounting to
hundreds of millions of rupiah and the case has been brought to
court.
Bandung District Court, in its verdict
No.243/PID/S/2001/PN.BDG, has sentenced defendant Bambang Tjanadi
bin Hasin Tjanadi to one year in prison effective as of June 27,
2001. The defendant has been found guilty and legally proven to
have embezzled company funds while in office. But, to date, he
has not served his jail sentence. The public prosecutor has also
not carried out the court's verdict in accordance with Article
270 of the Criminal Code. Consequently, the defendant is still
free and able to influence other employees.
We have written to the public prosecutor inquiring about the
matter, but until now we have not yet received any response.
How can this happen while the country, in particular those who
hold positions of influence, frequently say that they will uphold
the law and eradicate corruption, collusion and nepotism in their
office?
