Inspector General Napoleon Questions CCTV Evidence Of Bribery Case For Removing Red Notice

JAKARTA - The suspect in the alleged removal of red notice bribery, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte questioned the CCTV footage used as evidence to establish him as a suspect.

CCTV footage used as evidence is deemed not in accordance with facts. This is because the footage was taken from a CCTV camera on the 1st floor of the TNCC Polri building, which is not his workplace.

"The CCTV that was proposed was not available. It was on the 1st floor, I was on the 11th floor. TNCC was 12 floors, at least there were about 30 generals there. So if you say where I came from ?," Napoleon told reporters, Monday, September 28.

Napoleon also emphasized that he never knew the origin of the 20 thousand US dollars worth of money which was used as evidence. He said he never received money or gifts of any kind.

"And 20 thousand USD, I didn't know who it was from and said I received the money. Where? I don't know," he said.

Previously it was reported, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte was said to have been emotional when carrying out the reconstruction of the alleged deletion of Djoko Tjandra's red notice. This was because Tommy Sumardi's investigation report (BAP) did not match the facts on the ground.

"There is a mismatch between the BAP and the facts on the ground because yesterday the reconstruction referred to more information from TS," said Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte's attorney, Putri Maya Rumantik, to VOI, Friday, August 28.

One of them is the BAP regarding the giving of money from Tommy Sumardi to Inspector General Napoleon and Brigadier General Prasetyo Utomo. Both also refused to do the demonstration. This is because they admit that they never received money from Tommy Sumardi.

Putri said the BAP said that Tommy Sumardi meeting with Inspector General Napoleon was also not in accordance with the facts on the ground. This is because, he said, his client felt that he had never met Tommy Sumardi.

"The strange thing is that the CCTV is on the 1st floor, while Mr. Napoleon's office is on the 11th floor, but as if directed by TS, it is like meeting with you. So there is a mismatch which they think is not true," said Putri.

In this case, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte was named a suspect suspected of being the recipient of the bribe. He was charged with Article 5 Paragraph 2, Article 11 and Article 12 letters a and b of Law Number 20 of 2020 concerning Corruption (Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code.

In the bribery case, investigators confiscated US $ 20 thousand, cellphones, including CCTV as evidence.
