"This is the fifth suspect. The other four suspects identified by their initials as YR, DN, NK and AA have been detained," Director of Special Economic Crime at the National Police Criminal Investigation Directorate (Bareskrim) Brig. Gen. Kamil Razak said here on Monday.
The fifth suspect identified by his initials as AA was arrested at Crowne Hotel in Jakarta early Sunday at 00.15 a.m. local time, he said.
AA was arrested along with the seizure of MV Lautan Satu believed to be used to distribute fuels to the black market, he said.
Kamil said AA is the older brother of suspect NK, a civil servant who has bank deposits worth Rp1.3 trillion.
The money was obtained from the illegal sale of fuel oils owned by state oil and gas company Pertamina between 2008 and 2013, he said.
"The total losses are still unknown because further investigation is still needed," he said.
The suspects are charged with violating article 2 of the law on money laundering crimes and article 2 of the anti-corruption law.
