(News Today) - National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri said Tuesday detectives had seized as evidence Rp 60 billion (US$6.54 million) in cash from a safe deposit box belonging to former low-ranking tax official Gayus Tambunan.
"We are now investigating whether the money is related with money laundering or other grafts committed by Gayus," Bambang said.
The police are now investigating an alleged case brokerage ring centering on Gayus.
Gayus is believed to have disbursed Rp 20 billion in bribes in order to avoid legal punishment. The money was allegedly collected from corporate tax payers who had used Gayus' "service" to settle tax disputes.
As many as 11 suspects, comprising police detectives, a judge, state prosecutors, lawyers, and a businessman, have been named suspects.
In March, the Tangerang District Court freed Gayus from all charges.
Three weeks later, Gayus was arrested by the police following the revelation of his judiciary mafia made by former National Police chief detective Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji.
