High-ranking police officers to testify in Antasari's trial
Two high-ranking police officers will testify Tuesday at the South Jakarta District Court to confront the testimony from Sr. Comr. Wiliardi Wizar, who claimed that they had forced him to make a false dossier against defendant in a murder case and former anti-graft leader Antasari Azhar.
Last week, Wiliardi, a former South Jakarta Police chief, stunned all and sundry with his statement in the court hearing that he had been coerced by police investigators to fall in line with a plot to frame Antasari.
Among the officers he named were former National Police deputy chief detective Insp. Gen. Hadiatmoko and former Jakarta police chief detective chief Brig. Gen. M. Iriawan.
Lead prosecutor Cirus Sinaga has confirmed that the two officers would come to the hearing Tuesday, together with several investigators who questioned Wiliardi during the making of the dossier.
Antasari is currently on trial for allegedly plotting the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen, a director in state pharmaceutical company PT Putra Rajawali Banjaran.
Nasrudin was killed in a drive-by shooting near Moderland golf course in Tangerang, Banten, in March this year.
It was reported that Antasari, then chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission, secured help from businessman and close friend Sigid Haryo Wibisono, who provide the cash, and Wiliardi, who recruited the hit men, to execute the murder plan.
