Jakarta. A senior police officer has said a preliminary investigation into the disappearance of a senior business associate of colorful tycoon Tomy Winata indicated that the missing executive may have fled, Indonesian media reported.
“Our temporary analysis is that this was not a kidnapping but that he intentionally disappeared,” Jakarta police’ general crime unit head , Sr. Comr. Heru Pranoto, said Friday.
Police did not speculate as to why the executive might have chosen drop off the map.
Wisnu, a director at Tomy’s Artha Graha group, has been missing for a month. He reportedly left his house for the Artha Graha office building in Sudirman, South Jakarta, in a Toyota Camry sedan. He was said to have spent the whole day at his office, leaving at 10 p.m., and has not been seen since.
Wisnu joined the group in 1989 and was made a director at the listed Jakarta International Hotels & Development in 2012. The company operates several hotels, including Hotel Borobudur in Central Jakarta and Kartika Plaza in Kuta, Bali.
The company, founded in 1969, has plans to build the country’s largest-ever infrastructure project — linking the islands of Java and Sumatra. It also plans to construct the country’s tallest building, the 105-story Signature Tower in Central Jakarta.
Heru said the police were still tracking down the whereabout of Wisnu, who has been missing since May 11. He said the police have distribution pamphlets about Wisnu’s disappearance.
“Until now, nobody has reported anything, so, God willing, he is still alive,” Heru told Detik.com. “We did find his cellphone, but he might have others.”
