The low-ranking officer is just a collector for the high-ranking officer. He is not a genius who can hold a bank account that much. It'€™s team work for sure, a good team. We all have heard about those fat police generals. The low-ranking officer will be a victim.

Wow, Papua again. It has been 50 years under the rule of Garuda. Look at what the police officer, Sitorus, did there in Sorong? It is nothing but robbing the people and the land of Papua.

It is incredible that a low-ranking officer could have such a huge amount of money. It'€™s hard not to think that his superiors are not richer.

Corruption, unfortunately, is our way of life. It'€™s in our genes and blood. In the past, it was called upeti (gift from subordinate). We are a nation of people with a feudalistic mindset that, incidentally, lives in a modern world.

To supervise and manage such big businesses needs a lot of time and effort. An active low-rank police officer, who is able to become a successful businessman, either has no commander who controls his daily actions or has paid-off all of his superiors. This kind of collusion enriched many officers and officials, so that the business could continue safely.
