JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is likely to open a new investigation into the alleged bribery case for removing red notice for the suspect, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte. This is because he is said to have had an agreement worth Rp. 7 billion for this case.
Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Ardiansyah, said that the initial clues to the case had indeed been obtained. However, so far it is still in the deepening stage.
"The clue is there but investigators are still studying it. It is still in depth," Febrie told reporters, Tuesday, October 6.
However, no details were explained about these instructions. It is suspected that the instructions were the results of the examination listed in the investigation file. Previously, the file was sent by Bareskrim Polri to be checked for completeness by the investigating prosecutor.
Inspector General Napoleon's agreement was revealed to remove Joko Tjandra's red notice during the pretrial hearing with the agenda of listening to the response of the defendant, namely Bareskrim Polri on Tuesday, September 29.
At that time, the Bareskrim Polri legal team believed that Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte had committed the crime of alleged bribery so that he was named a suspect. He has an agreement in return worth IDR 7 billion related to the elimination of Joko Tjandra's red notice when he was still a fugitive in the Bank Bali collection rights case.
"The fact of the Petitioner's actions is that after a meeting of an agreement the amount that was originally Rp3 billion was finally agreed upon to be Rp7 billion," said a member of the Bareskrim legal team.
In fact, Bareskrim emphasized that it had evidence that Inspector General Napoleon had received the money. Among other things, witness testimony, and other documentary evidence.
"CCTV evidence clearly saw the money being handed over to the applicant. The handover of the money has implications for making decisions that are more favorable to the bribe giver," he said.
In the case of alleged bribery for the removal of red notice, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte was named a suspect who was 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.
