Can you really believe that the police are corrupt? I am sure that the policeman in question is a fine upstanding fellow. He is probably just minding the money in his account for his wife, brothers, sisters and all his extended family...

The country’s most prominent antigraft watchdog officially lodged a complaint with the Corruption Eradication Commission on Wednesday linking a bank account containing Rp 95 billion ($10.3 million) to a senior officer from National Police headquarters.

Danang Widoyoko, chairman of Indonesia Corruption Watch, said there were indications of bribery and illegal gratuities linked to the account, allegedly belonging to a two-star police general identified as “BG.”

Danang brought along several documents to support the group’s claim. It is still not known whether the documents submitted include classified dossiers from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), which is able to monitor suspicious transactions at virtually all financial institutions in the country.

“We are disappointed that the National Police have refused to investigate how the officer was able to obtain such a vast wealth,” ICW deputy chairman Emerson Yuntho said in a text message to the Jakarta Globe.

“It shows that the police are not ready to reform.”

Earlier, National Police chief of detectives Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said the PPATK had forwarded documents linked to the suspicious account but claimed that no indications of any criminal activities had been discovered.
