TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit claimed they did not rule out the possibility of joining hands with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in investigating the money flow of Joko Tjandra in the police institution.
The Bareskrim’s Chief Comr. Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo said they were tracing the flow of money in the fugitive case.
“It is possible that we will cooperate with the KPK to investigate the money flow and of course, that relates to our efforts in implementing the Law on Corruption,” said Listyo on Monday, July 27.
In this case, the police had named the former Bareskrim Head Brig. Gen. Prasetijo Utomo as a suspect.
Prasetijo was charged with three articles, viz. Article 263 (1 and 2) of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 (1E) of the Criminal Code, Article 426 (1) of the Criminal Code, and Article 221 (1) of the Criminal Code.
Prasetijo Utomo allegedly issued a travel letter, COVID-19 test letters, and health recommendation letters for the needs of the fugitive in Bank Bali case Joko Tjandra and the latter’s lawyer Anita Kolopaking.
The police also suspected Prasetijo for helping the fugitive and obstructing the investigation process by destructing and eliminating evidence.
