he Tax Directorate General has arrested the former treasurer of the Bekasi municipal legislative council for tax evasion that caused Rp 1.2 billion (US$101,000) in state losses.
Tax Directorate General spokesman Wahyu Karya Tumalaka said on Tuesday that the suspect, identified as R, had never paid income tax (PPH) or submitted annual tax declaration forms (SPT).
He said that R, who was questioned by civil servant investigators, was being held at the Bulak Kapal Prison in Bekasi.
'The suspect's dossier has already been submitted to the West Java prosecutor's office and he is expected to stand trial at the Bekasi District Court soon,' Wahyu said, adding that the 1983 Tax Law carried a maximum six-year prison sentence.
Wahyu said his side would closely monitor the trial and would disseminate the court's verdict to set a good example for all citizens, especially public officials and ex-officials.
