Gayus' falsified passport officially registered in Guyana

The National Police confirmed that five falsified Guyana passports bearing photos of tax graft convict Gayus H. Tambunan, his wife Milana Anggareni, and their three children, were made available and officially registered in Guyana.

The National Police had sent a team to Guyana to investigate the passports allegedly belonging to Gayus and his family.

“The passports [officially] exist,” National Police chief detective Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said late on Tuesday.

The police previously found pictures of an assortment of five Guyana passports bearing false identification and photographs of Gayus and his family, in an email belonging to suspect A. The email had been sent by another suspect, US national John Jerome Grice.

Ito added that, based on Gayus' avowal, Johan had not handed over the falsified passports because Gayus had not paid the US$ 300,000 fee required to make them.

“[The passports] had not been used yet,” Ito said, as reported by kompas.com.

John had previously helped Gayus obtain a falsified passport using the alias Sony Laksono, for a fee of US$100,000.

John is now wanted by the National Police and Interpol.
