Tips Hamil - Soon after his arrival in Jakarta on Wednesday afternoon, independent police investigators questioned rogue tax official Gayus Tambunan. Chief of the National Police detective unit Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said Gayus, wanted for corruption and money laundering, was questioned at the office of the police operations deputy.
Gayus had been a fugitive of the Indonesian police and task force since March 24, but surrendered voluntarily to police personnel while dining with members of his family at a restaurant in Singapore.
Speaking to journalists, Ito said the independent police investigators set up by the police chief to uncover the judicial corruption case operated professionally.
The success in bringing Gayus back home was the result of sound coordination among the police, task force, and immigration authorities, he said.
The task force secretary, Denny Indrayana, said Gayus' return to Indonesia was expected to accelerate the law enforcers' efforts to reveal the judicial mafia cases.
"This case is expected to be revealed sooner because we have got all key witnesses, namely Andi Kosasih, Haposan Hutagalung, and Gayus Tambunan," he said.
Indrayana said he believed in the police investigators' professionalism and integrity in handling the Gayus case.
