Police to let KPK probe funds received from Freeport

The Jakarta Post, Sun, 11/06/2011

The National Police said Sunday it will allow the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to scrutinize police officers regarding funds they may have received from mining firm PT Freeport Indonesia to guard the company area in Papua.

National Police Chief Gen. Timur Pradopo said he supported any actions to help police uphold their public accountability and the truth in the Freeport fund case, tribunnews.com reported.

National Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar recently said police received US$14 million from Freeport to guard the firm area in Papua.

Among the beneficiaries are 365 police officers who each received Rp 1.25 million (US$130) per month from Freeport.

The agreement was made between Freeport and the Papua Police in 2004.
