MILITARY POLICE AWAIT DOSSIER ON LT. AGUS

JAKARTA - City police dossiers detailing charges against the son
of Army chief Gen. Subagyo Hadisiswoyo, Second Lt. Agus Isrok, who was
arrested in August for drug possession, are yet to be handed over to
city military police, an officer said on Friday.

"The military police has yet to carry out the investigation on Second
Lt. Agus Isrok because we're waiting for the dossiers from the city
police.

"It's the city police's responsibility to prepare and submit the
dossiers because it was the party which arrested him," said city
military police commander Col. Mungkono Mursidi.

He denied allegations that the city military police had experienced
difficulties investigating the case because Agus was the son of an
influential high-ranking military officer.

"There will be no obstacles as long as we can obtain complete evidence
on the case," Mungkono said after a ceremony marking the transfer of
the city military commander post from Maj. Gen. Djadja Suparman to
Maj. Gen. Ryamizard Ryacudu.

City police chief Maj. Gen. Noegroho Djajoesman acknowledged that his
office was still investigating the case.

"We are investigating the case in a professional manner, in line with
police investigation procedures," he said separately after the ceremony.

Noegroho declined to reveal whether city police were experiencing
difficulties with the investigation.

"I don't need to talk to you about the technicalities of the
investigation," he said.

Chairman of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation Bambang Widjoyanto
condemned the military and the police for the "slow"
investigation.

"Slow investigation into the case will worsen the military image as
the public may consider that the military has neglected the supremacy
of the law," Bambang said at his Central Jakarta office.

West Jakarta Police arrested Agus on Aug. 8 during a drug raid at a
hotel. Agus and an accomplice were allegedly apprehended in possession
of heroin, shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) and over 6,000
ecstasy pills.
