PECIAL TEAM TO QUESTION THREE SENIOR AGO OFFICIALS
Jakarta, June 16 (ANTARA) - A special Attorney General's Office (AGO) team is to question Junior Attorney General for Civil and State Administrative Cases Untung Adji Santoso on Tuesday (June 17) about his contacts with Artalyta Surayni, a businesswoman being tried in court for allegedly bribing a public prosecutor investigating a BLBI (Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance) case, a spokesman said.
Later, the team will also grill Junior Attorney General for Intelligence Wisnu Subroto and former Junior Attorney General for Special Cases Kemas Yahya Rahman in the same context, Junior Attorney General for Supervision MS Raharjo said here Monday.
The three senior AGO officials would be investigated on the basis of intercepted telephone converations Suryani had held with Rahman when he was still the Junior Attorney General for Special Cases one day after Rahman had announced the suspension of an inquiry into a BLBI case involving business tycoon Syamsul Nursalim on whose behalf Suryani was believed to have committed the bribery.
In the conversation, a record of which was played in a court session on Suryani's case on Wednesday last week, Rahman had also made references to Santoso and Subroto.
Raharjo said the AGO had asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) -- whose investigators had bugged Suryani's telephone calls -- for a transcript of the telephone records to support the questioning of the three senior AGO officials.
The AG0 team would also request the KPK's readiness to provide additional clarifications on the telephone conversation records, Raharjo said, adding a summons to appear before the team had already been served on Santoso.
Meanwhile, the AGO's chief information officer, BD Nainggolan, said the AGO supervision department was interrogating 11 staffers belonging to the civil and state administrative and the special cases departments to verify clues obtained from Suryani's telephone conversations that AGO officials handling the BLBI case had actually tried to arrest her "for appearance's sake" to cover up their own wrongdoing.
