Susno Duadji

Daftar Hotel - Former detective chief Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji, says he is unperturbed by the possibility of the National Police taking him to court for defamation.

Hotel di Surabaya Susno said the police would need to build a solid case against him as he claimed to have all the facts needed to support his allegations about case brokers within the force.

“Their move to investigate me should be appreciated, but I warn them that there will also be consequences if they cannot prove me wrong,” he said Saturday.

Susno said the police should investigate officers he had mentioned rather than himself.

“They should find out about them first before they question me,” he said.

In his previous statements, Susno mentioned the initials of two brigadier generals, namely R.E. and E.I. and several middle-ranking officials, who he said had operated as case brokers in money laundering and tax evasion cases.

He also insinuated the “second in rank” in the police force had backed up the case brokering.

“Second in rank” usually refers to the deputy chief, who at that time was Comr. Gen. Makbul Padma-negara.

Last Thursday, Susno was summoned by a team comprising officials from the internal affairs division, but failed to show up, saying he had a meeting with Judicial Corruption Eradication Taskforce.

The National Police again summoned Susno to the internal affairs division on Monday. Susno claimed the invitation indicated that his summons was in relation to a disciplinary violation rather than corrupt officers.

“Internal affairs officers do not have the authority to investigate crimes. They only authorize disciplinary violations.

“I wonder why they have asked me to meet these people instead of detectives who are authorized to investigate crimes,” he said, adding that he attend the summons on Monday.

The case started last week when Susno told the media that last year, while he was serving as the chief of detectives, his division received a report from the Financial Transactions Report and Analysis Center (PPATK) about an account that had suddenly received a Rp 25 billion (US$2.75 million) deposit.

The account was held by an employee of the Taxation Directorate General named Gayus Tambunan.
However, in November 2009 before the investigations of this case were complete, Susno was dismissed from his position following his alleged role in judicial corruption involving businessman Anggodo Widjojo.

Susno said that while he was no longer a chief detective, he kept in touch with his former subordinates who later informed him the investigation had been stopped after detectives found that only
Rp 400 million of the Rp 25 billion deposit was connected to graft.

Suspicious about the investigation, Susno said he asked around and discovered that police had tampered with the investigation and stolen some of the money.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Mardiyani, one of the investigators, said last Friday the police were sure only Rp 395 million of the deposit was questionable.

The money came from two sources: PT Megah Raya Garmindo and Roberto Santonius, a tax consultant.
