Vice President Boediono held a coordination meeting to discuss Gayus H. Tambunan, just a few hours after the former low-level tax official was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for graft.
The meeting at the Vice Presidential Office in Jakarta was attended by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Djoko Suyanto, National Police chief Gen. Timur Pradopo and Attorney General Basrief Arief, as reported by tempointeraktif.com online news portal.

“The Vice President has become the national coordinator, as per the President’s instructions. Of course, he will often meet with law enforcement chiefs….I think this is just a preliminary meeting,” Boediono’s spokesman, Yopie Hidayat, said.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued 12 orders for handling the Gayus case earlier this week, one of which named Boediono point person for implementing Yudhoyono’s orders.

Other orders require performance evaluations and audited financial reports for all institutions connected to Gayus’ case and sanctioning officers found guilty wrongdoing in the case’s many investigations.
