JAKARTA - Chief judge Muhammad Damis reminded the accused Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte not to take 'shortcuts' to be free from charges or the law. Inspector General Napoleon was asked to follow the existing legal process.

"I remind you not to serve anyone who will smooth out your case. Please don't happen, especially if someone promises you to release you and so on," Damis said at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, November 9.

In addition, the judge also reminded Inspector General Napoleon not to serve these efforts at all. Because, in the trial process all facts will be exposed.

"I beg with respect to you, whoever the person is, you don't have to serve," he said.

Later, the trial process will run in accordance with applicable regulations. So, if proven guilty, Inspector General Napoleon will be sentenced but otherwise he will be released.

"If proven, you will be declared proven and convicted. If this case is continued this case. If it is not proven you will be released," he said.

In response to this, Napoleon agreed. He emphasized that he would not accept offers that are against the law.

"From the beginning we did not serve the judge and we really trust the judiciary, the judge," he said.

In the case of alleged bribery for the removal of red notice, investigators named four people as suspects. They act as recipients and givers.

Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte and Brigadier General Prasetijo Utomo were named as suspects because they were suspected of being the recipients of bribes for the removal of red notice. Meanwhile, Tommy Sumardi and Djoko Tjandra were named as suspects on suspicion of giving bribes.

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