Prosecutors on Tuesday indicted graft convict Gayus Tambunan for forging a passport that he used to travel overseas when he was supposed to be in prison.
Prosecutors accused Gayus of creating and using a forged passport since January 2010 with the help of American John Jerome Grice, who has fled the country, and Arie Nur Iwan, aka Arie Kalap.
The fake passport, under the name of Sony Laksono, was used by Gayus for jaunts to Macao, Hong Kong and Singapore. The fake passport itself was created using a passport belonging to Margaretha Ingrid Anggraeni, who never claimed the passport at the East Jakarta Immigration office.
The indictment stated that Gayus's wrongdoing has hurt the Immigration Office for causing “a decline in the public trust towards the Immigration Office.”
It also caused material losses for using a passport number owned by someone else who had paid for the document, the indictment stated.
Gayus said that he didn't understand the indictment, claiming that he was not the one who forged the passport.
“I don't understand with the indictment stating that I 'took part in forging the document' because I never knew who put the name and the data into the passport,” he said.
