Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) should handle the case pertaining to a suspicious bank account which is owned by several police officials, said a researcher at the Centre of Anti Corruption Study at the Gadjah Mada University, Oce Madril, on Tuesday.

"Currently, the case is being handled by the National Police. We are concerned because the investigation process is slow," he said.

According to Oce, KPK investigators should handle the case as stated in the Regulation Number 30/2002 about the anti-graft commission's task to tackle corruption in the public sector.

The case of the suspicious bank account which is owned by several police officials first come to light in 2010 when the Tempo magazine released a report entitled, "Police Officers Fat Bank Accounts".

According to the report, a number of police officers had been receiving an average of Rp1 billion ¿ Rp2 billion a day. In fact, an official had received Rp10 billion.

Since the monthly salary of a senior police officer is not more than Rp10 million, editors of the Tempo magazine said it is difficult to believe that police officers had attained large amounts of money through legitimate means.(*/DWA)
