Prosecutors to witness against colleague

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 02/04/2011 11:20 AM | National

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) will submit the names of three prosecutors to act as witnesses against Cirus Sinaga, a fellow prosecutor implicated in the corruption case of Gayus H. Tambunan.

“We will submit the names of three prosecutors as witnesses in the Cirus case,” Attorney General Basrief Arief said at the Presidential Office on Friday.

Tax graft convict Gayus H. Tambunan previously testified that he had bribed Cirus to get his sentence demand falsified.

Basrief also denied allegations that investigations into the Gayus' case had been moving too slowly, adding that the AGO had removed 12 officers for their involvement in the case.

Basrief said the office had been working toward the 12 instructions issued by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono concerning the Gayus case, and had reported developments to Vice President Boediono who was appointed to oversee the case.

“We have reported to the Vice President. It's time this is [also] reported to the President,” he said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
