TARAKAN - Head of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) team, Albertus Wahyurudhanto, said the cases of illegal gold mining, used clothes and money laundering (TPPU) which ensnared the Police Brigadier HSB were corporate crimes.

"This is a corporate crime, not just one person, but many people, so we have to be really careful," he said, at Malundung Harbor, Tarakan, North Kalimantan, as reported by Antara, Thursday, May 19.

He said this while reviewing the location of the container containing used clothing from abroad.

Meanwhile, regarding the alleged involvement from internal and external within the Police, Albertus said it was still waiting for expert witness testimony.

"Therefore, expert witness testimony is very important, the main requirements for two pieces of evidence must be met first," he said.

This, he said, was because the case with the suspect HSB was a big case and became a public concern. Everyone is watching so that there is no pretrial.

Albertus said that his arrival at the location of evidence of 17 containers containing used clothing belonging to HSB was to inspect the locations of prominent cases.

"A prominent case can be bad, it can be good. This case has reached the national level because it is related to illegal mining where illegal mining is a concern for us because those arrested are members of the National Police," said Albertus.

Then 17 containers containing used clothes were found, he said, according to preliminary data this only involved HSB.

"The case is going to be investigated, there was information that the Dirkrimsus Polda Kaltara was going to Jakarta to hear the testimony of expert witnesses on trade and crime to ensure the determination of the article. We are guarding because the task of Kompolnas has an obligation to guard according to the law's orders to guard the position of the National Police who are professional and independent," explained he.

Albertus said Brigadier HSB could be charged with the Trade Law, the Consumer Protection Act, and money laundering offences.

"However, it is certain that expert witnesses will provide explanations and case titles," said Albertus.
