Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte: I Feel Dizalimi

JAKARTA - The defendant in the case of alleged bribery for the removal of red notice, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, felt that he was being wronged during the legal process of the case that charged him. Inspector General Napoleon believed that many allegations were not in accordance with the facts that were filed against him.

"From June to today I feel persecuted through the press, by news reports and false statements by state officials about the accusation of removing red notices," said Napoleon at the end of the trial at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) Jakarta, Monday, 9 November.

Napoleon said the National Police's International Relations Division (Divhubinter) does not have the authority to remove red notices. However, many state officials think that he is the one who did it.

"Because as Kadiv Hubinter Polri and previously the Secretary of NCB Interppol, we know best about the working mechanism of Interpol," he said.

Inspector General Napoleon emphasized that he was ready to prove that all the allegations were not true. In fact, all these accusations or charges were based on plans to tyrannize him as a state official.

"The accusation of receiving money, I am ready to prove that all of this is based on a plan to zolomize us as state officials," he said.

The Public Prosecutor (JPU) accused Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte of receiving hundreds of thousands of US and Singapore dollars from Joko Tjandra. The money was intended to remove Joko Tjandra's red notice when he was still a fugitive in the case of transfer of collection rights or cessie Bank Bali.

"(Inspector General Napoleon) Received a sum of SGD200,000.00 and an amount of USD270,000.00," said the prosecutor at the indictment trial at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, November 2.

In the indictment, the prosecutor said that Inspector General Napoleon gave the order to issue a letter addressed to the Directorate General of Immigration. The letter was intended to remove Djoko Tjandra's name from the Enhanced Cekal System (ECS) in the Immigration Information System (SIMKIM) of the Directorate General of Immigration.
