JAKARTA - The former subordinate of Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, Kombes Tommy Aria Dwianto, admitted that he had argued with his superiors regarding the red notice extension letter for Joko Tjandra.

Kombes Tommy Aria Dwianto was presented as a witness in the alleged case of gratification for the removal of red notice for the defendant Joko Tjandra.

Tommy's debate with Inspector General Napoleon because he suggested that a red notice be sent to the Attorney General's Office. But according to him, Inspector General Napoleon refused and ordered to write to Immigration regarding Joko Tjandra's red notice.

"We once told Mr. Kadiv, it would be better if he submitted it to the AGO first. Mr. Kadiv conveyed that Immigration has more authority to supervise the crossing of people at the airport," said Tommy during a trial at the Corruption Court, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 26.

It is Tommy's belief that the letter must be addressed to the Attorney General's Office because the Adhyaksa Corps has twice requested an extension of the red notice. Moreover, the National Police must reply to the letter requesting the extension.

However, with the order of Inspector General Napoleon, Tommy then wrote to Immigration. He claimed to have followed Napoleon's direction as head of the International Relations Division (Hubinter).

"According to him it was the usual mechanism. But at that time we were just feelings at that time," he said.

In this case, the prosecutor charged Inspector General Napoleon with an order to issue a letter addressed to the Directorate General of Immigration. The letter was intended to remove Joko Tjandra's name from the Enhanced Cekal System (ECS) at the Immigration Information System (SIMKIM) of the Directorate General of Immigration.

In the case of alleged bribery for the removal of red notices, 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.
