Farouk Arnaz – Despite questioning 15 police officers as witnesses in the graft case of the "trillion rupiah cop," First Adj. Insp. Labora Sitorus, Papua Police working with the National Police's criminal investigation department have not yet named any further police officers as suspects.

"Up to 80 witnesses have been questioned, 15 of them are members [of the police] who are still being treated as witnesses," said Insp. Gen. Tito Karnavian, the Papua Police chief, at the National Police headquarters on Wednesday.

If not for the actions of a non-police agency, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), Labora's case may never have come to light. Labora was found by the PPATK to have had Rp 1.5 trillion ($150 million) pass through his bank accounts from 2007-2012.

Aside from Labora, police have named two civilian suspects, the operational directors of the Rotua and Seno Adi Wijaya companies, identified as I.N. and J.L. respectively. Both companies are allegedly owned by Labora.

Senior police are assumed to have been aware of and benefited from the massive fuel smuggling and illegal logging allegedly carried out by these companies, with inside sources saying Labora was known to his superiors as "the cash machine."

Tito confirmed that police had yet to name any new suspects, saying investigators were focusing for now on the three men currently in custody.

Labora was arrested on May 18 in Jakarta after being named a suspect in a subsidized fuel and merbau timber smuggling case, following the seizure of a million liters of fuel and 115 containers of merbau.
