T

he Jakarta Police plan to cooperate with Interpol in their attempt to question former president director of PT Asuransi Allianz Life Indonesia, Joachim Wessling, who is accused of violating customer protection laws.

Jakarta Police special crimes unit head Sr. Comr. Adi Deriyan said Wessling was currently outside of Indonesia and there was no sign that he had returned to the country. Adi, however, was clueless as to where the German businessman was.

Wessling failed to answer two summonses for questioning, hindering police attempts to investigate the case, Adi said.

Adi said the police planned to forcefully detain him for questioning and would ask for Interpol’s cooperation.

“We have followed procedures as outlined by the KUHAP [Criminal Law Procedure Code]. We will proceed through cooperation with Interpol,” Adi said as quoted by kompas.com on Monday.

The police named Wessling, along with former Allianz Indonesia claims manager Yuliana Firmansyah, as suspects for allegedly refusing to pay medical claims by its customers.
