Raja Empat resort police officer who has been accused of engaging in illegallogging, money laundering and fuel smuggling faces initial trial on Oct. 3 atthe Sorong District Court in Papua, says an official.
'The first session is the indictment hearing,' Attorney General's Office (AGO) spokesman Setia Untung Arimuladi said on Saturday as quoted by tempo.co, referring to the case of Chief Brig. Labora Sitorus.
The National Police named Labora a suspect on May 18 after the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) spotted suspicious financial transactions in his bank account totaling Rp 1.5 trillion (US$130 million), which were not in keeping with Labora's role as a police officer.
He faces multiple charges and if found guilty could be imprisoned for more than 10 years. (hrl/dic)
