akarta Police will question Sandiaga Uno after his inauguration as Jakarta deputy governor on Monday. He will be questioned as a witness in an embezzlement case.
Sandiaga was initially scheduled to be questioned by investigators from the police’s general crimes directorate last Wednesday. However, he could not meet the summons because he was preparing for the inauguration.
“The investigators will figure out a time [for him to be questioned],” Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono said on Friday as quoted by kompas.com.
Sandiaga and his business partner Andreas Tjahjadi were reported by tycoon Edward Soeryadjaya to the Jakarta Police in relation to an embezzlement case in Curug, Tangerang, Banten,
The governor-elect has denied the allegations, saying the case was made up for political gain. (ecn)
