T
he Jakarta Police detained a business colleague of Jakarta deputy governor hopeful Sandiaga Uno at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Thursday early morning for ignoring a police summon.
Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono said the colleague, Andreas Tjahjadi, was detained at the airport because he avoided two summon letters from the police regarding a case of alleged land embezzlement.
"The point is that we had called him twice but he did not show up. Last night, we got information saying he was at the airport, so we picked him up," said Argo as quoted by tempo.co on Thursday.
However, he added Andreas' status in the case was still only as a witness, like Sandiaga.
He is currently being questioned by the police at the Jakarta Police headquarters in South Jakarta.
Andreas and Sandiaga were reported to the police over allegations of embezzlement of a plot of land in Curug, Tangerang, Banten, by their former colleague Djoni Hidayat.
