n spite of an intensive probe, the National Police thus far have failed to name a suspect in the leak of national exam materials.
National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Anton Charliyan said that investigators handling the case were facing difficulties after the Culture and Elementary and Secondary Education Ministry filed a request with internet search giant Google Inc. to delete files on the Google Drive application used to upload the leaked files.
'We are having problems finding the suspect. The site has been blocked and we are now working with Google to retrace the address of the website. It will take a while,' Anton told reporters.
So far, police have questioned 13 witnesses in the case and confiscated a number of pieces of evidence, including computers belonging to staffers of a state-owned printing firm.
The ministry announced last week that 30 of 11,730 exam material packages nationwide were uploaded online to Google Drive. The national exam documents were reportedly available online for three days, from Saturday until Monday, before being deleted by Google following a request from the ministry. The ministry has yet to decide if students in Aceh and Yogyakarta will have to retake their exams.
