Jakarta. The eagerly anticipated trial of Indonesia’s disgraced former chief detectives, Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji, began on Wednesday, with the prosecution detailing multiple counts of corruption against him in connection with alleged bribery and suspected misappropriation of security funds during elections in West Java.
“The defendant has accepted gifts that were meant to [influence] his authority as a state employee,” the prosecution said, reading from the thick indictment.
Susno, 56, has been detained since May 11. He remained calm while the charges were read.
In the alleged bribery case involving a fish farm, Susno was said to have accepted Rp 500 million ($56,000) from lawyer Haposan Hutagalung through suspected case broker Sjahril Djohan.
“Haposan withdrew Rp 500 million from his BCA bank account in Rp 100,000 notes and kept it in an envelope,” the indictment read.
The money was delivered by Sjahril to Susno’s residence in South Jakarta.
“Here is the money from the Arowana case sent by Haposan,” the indictment quoted Sjahril as saying.
“Okay, thank you, bang,” Susno allegedly replied, using the affectionate term for big brother.
After taking the money, Susno is believed to have asked his men to speed up the criminal probe against the business rival of Haposan’s client and even ordered arrest if necessary, according to the indictment.
