Jakarta – The National Police expressed Thursday its joy in welcoming back their former chief detective, who is currently undergoing a trial for alleged graft, Comr. Gen Susno Duadji.

"We are thankful to Allah that this morning we as the big family of the National Police can happily welcome back Bapak Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji," spokesman Insp. Gen. Anton Bachrul Alam said as quoted by kompas.com.

He added that Susno had met with National Police chief Gen. Timur Pradopo, who was looking forward to the comeback.

Susno is also known as the whistleblower in the Gayus tax mafia case, which has implicated several high-ranking officers.

His own trial process, in which he is accused of embezzling some of the 2008 West Java regional election security funds, and receiving bribes to speed up an investigation process, has been dragging on due to various causes including a long line of witnesses.
