Yudhoyono following Susno case

White Bikini - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is awaiting information on the legal position of former National Police detective chief Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji, who is being investigated by the Judicial Corruption Eradication Taskforce.

The police named Susno Ditangkap a defamation suspect for his media report alleging that graft had taken place within the law enforcement institution.

Presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said Yudhoyono regarded Susno’s case as an internal problem for the National Police.

“The President suggests that all related parties fully implement legal mechanisms and procedures to settle [Susno’s] case,” he said Wednesday, as quoted by Antara state news agency.

Susno has accused a number of high-ranking police officers of embezzling funds in an alleged money laundering and tax evasion case after they stopped investigations into the case.

Among the accused, National Police Brig. Gen. Edmon Ilyas and Brig. Gen. Raja Erizman filed charges against Susno for defamation.
