The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) indicted
former national traffic police commander Insp. Gen. Djoko Susilo with multiple
charges of graft and money laundering under the corruption and money laundering
laws.
The prosecutors stated that they had sufficient evidence
to prove Djoko’s role in the driving simulator procurement graft case
that caused Rp 144.9 billion (U$14 million) of state losses.
“In December 2010, Djoko summoned his subordinate,
Adj. Sr. Comr. Teddy Rusmawan to his office and told Teddy he wanted
Budi Susanto involved in the driving simulator project,” Prosecutor Roni
said on Tuesday during Djoko’s first hearing session.
Budi Susanto, through his company PT CMMA, later won
the tender to work on the Rp 198 billion project.
The prosecutors also alleged that Djoko, with no additional
income to his Rp 28 million monthly salary, had a fortune larger than
his financial profile as a two-star general.
Roni said prosecutors also had strong evidence that
Djoko had managed to gain Rp 32 billion (U$ 3.3 million) from bribes and money
laundering activities.
Djoko's court was highly anticipated by the public since he was the highest rank police official whose graft case tackled by KPK.
The court session was adjourned until next week
with the agenda of hearing the defense statements. (nai/dic)
