JAKARTA - Former Head of the National Police's International Relations Division Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte revealed three big things behind Joko Tjandra's friend, Tommy Sumardi, when he asked to check the status of DPOs convicted of corruption in the Bank of Bali.

"He (Tommy) brought three big names at that time, maybe this is what he didn't want Prasetijo to hear so he said 'This is a 3 star business, 1 star comes out first', how come I want Prasetijo 1 star to come out but I understand Prasetijo is an official at Bareskrim so want to be asked to leave and speak like a friend, "said Napoleon at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Thursday, December 10.

Napoleon became a witness for the defendant convicted in the Bank Bali "cessie" corruption case, Joko Tjandra.

The meeting took place in early April 2020 at Napoleon's office on the 11th floor of the TNCC Polri building.

"I want to know who, to be the first to be named and he said it was right, he told the delegation and was close to Kabareskrim by showing a photo," said Napoleon.

"Next he showed a photo of managing a public kitchen in Tanah Abang and Menteng, he said, for victims of COVID-19. Every day he prepares 6,000 packaged rice," added Napoleon.

The third thing was that Tommy called the Deputy Speaker of the DPR from the Golkar Party faction, Azis Syamsuddin.

"He called Azis Syamsuddin, Deputy Speaker of the DPR and handed over his cellphone to me. I understand these calls that this person convinced me that his request was to be served because he first brought the general and showed his closeness to Kabaresrim even though I knew he was a junior, then wanted to show an even bigger one, namely Pak Azis Syamsuddin who is also a high-ranking official, "said Napoleon.

Tommy Sumardi's request at that time was to ask about the status of Interpol Red Notice Djoko Tjandra.

"Then I said, I will first see whether it is still on the 'red notice' or not, if it is still registered, I cannot tell him," said Napoleon.

Napoleon said that he had never received anything from Tommy.

"Never received, neither received nor received from my subordinates. Since the first time I heard (the gift), I actually wanted to have time to clarify with Tommy, but at that time I was still Kadivhubinter, but I know he (Tommy) is being closely guarded by officers who are not uniformed members. Police, "said Napoleon.

"Have you been sworn in, haven't you?" asked judge Saifuddin Zuhri.

"Yes, it is true that I do not accept it," said Napoleon.
