Andi Kosasih, a businessman implicated in a Rp 25 billion (US$2.7 million) graft case involving tax official Gayus Tambunan, turned himself in to the police Friday after being reported missing.
The police said Andi was ashamed of the media reports about his role in helping Gayus escape justice.
National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang said that Andi arrived at the police office alone, adding he was questioned as witness by an independent team tasked with reviewing the investigation of Gayus’ case.
He also said that he had invited officials from the National Police commission (Kompolnas), as part of the independent team, to monitor the investigation.
National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri had earlier announced that an independent team, comprising officials from the internal affairs division and detectives from the police detectives division, would probe into the handling of Gayus case, which former chief of detectives Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji said was flawed.
