JAKARTA. The National Police officially named businessman-cum-politician Hary Tanoesoedibjo a suspect on Friday for allegedly intimidating an Attorney General’s Office (AGO) official last year. National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Rikwanto said in Jakarta on Friday that the police had notified prosecutors about Hary’s status through a letter dated June 15. “The police leadership has allowed its investigators to commence a criminal investigation with Hary as a suspect.” The announcement ended days of uncertainty about Hary’s status after he underwent a series of police questionings. He was reported to the police for allegedly threatening the head of the AGO sub-directorate for special crimes, Yulianto, who handled an investigation into the businessman’s reportedly suspicious Rp 10.75 billion (US$ 807,360) tax restitution claim in 2009.
