Jakarta – The National Police have dispersed its independent team to investigate possible judicial mafia within the force.

"We have completed the investigation," the police spokesman Sr. Comr. Marwoto Soeto said Tuesday as quoted by kompas.com.

He said the team had reported its finding to the Judicial Mafia Taskforce and Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Djoko Suyanto at the police's headquarters in Jakarta earlier in the day.

In late March, police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri formed the independent team to probe the alleged case brokering within the police force.

The case grows around a claim by former National Police detective chief Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji who accused a number of police officers, including two police generals, of embezzling money in an alleged money laundering and tax evasion case involving tax officer Gayus Tambunan.
