AGO returns incomplete Gayus case files to police

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) says the case files on graft convict Gayus H. Tambunan’s fraudulent passports are incomplete and have been returned to the National Police.

“The dossiers for the case of forgery under the name of Gayus H. Tambunan are declared incomplete,” AGO spokesman Nur Rochmad said on Wednesday as quoted by Antara news wire.

The National Police’s Criminal Investigation Division (Bareskrim) forwarded the dossiers to the AGO on Jan. 19.

Gayus allegedly used an authentic passport with bogus data to travel outside the country when he was confined to Mobile Brigade’s detention center in Depok, West Java.
The former low-level tax official is also under investigation for amassing a Rp 74 billion (US$8.28 million) fortune.

Gayus’ lawyer, Hotma Sitompul, said that police investigators invited his client to watch while his wealth, which has been confiscated, was photographed at a Bank Mandiri branch in South Jakarta, as reported by tribunnews.com on Wednesday.
