A Tomy-Buwas Confrontation

TOMY Winata gave several unusual messages during a fast-breaking event in early June. "I don't want to obstruct the careers of these young officers," one participant of the meeting told Tempo last week, quoting what Tomy said at the Hotel Borobudur gathering in Central Jakarta.

Tomy also spoke of narcotics eradication. "If anyone in my family uses drugs, break their leg first then report it to me," said the Artha Graha group boss. He also bragged about being acquainted with senior police officers. Three Bareskrim investigators, who were present, mostly stayed quiet during the 90-minute meeting.
