Suspeitos de incêndio da Alfândega detidos em campo de deslocados


Dois suspeitos do incêndio que destruiu a Alfândega de Díli foram hoje detidos durante uma operação da Polícia das Nações Unidas num campo de deslocados em Díli, afirmou fonte oficial da UNPol.


Os dois suspeitos, "timorenses com idades entre os 20 e 30 anos", foram detidos no campo de deslocados do porto de Díli, fronteiro ao Hotel Timor e às ruínas da Alfândega.

Um dos suspeitos tinha já sido detido pela UNPol na passada sexta-feira "por ter sido apanhado em flagrante" numa acção de extorsão a lojistas do centro da capital, acrescentou a mesma fonte da UNPol.

Durante a operação no campo de deslocados, iniciada às 15:30 (07:30 em Lisboa), "foram apreendidas várias armas de fabrico tradicional".

Cerca das 16:00 (08:00 em Lisboa), o ex-primeiro-ministro e secretário-geral da Fretilin, Mari Alkatiri, que passava na viatura oficial em frente ao porto, quis saber "se era uma operação politicamente motivada", conforme a Lusa constatou no local.

A Lusa pôde também constatar que outros elementos da Fretilin, como o ex-ministro da Justiça, Domingos Sarmento, telefonaram para o telemóvel do comandante da operação da UNPol para saber o que estava a acontecer.

Bandeiras da Fretilin foram hasteadas em Agosto dentro e fora do campo de deslocados, na sequência da posse do IV Governo Constitucional, que o maior partido timorense considera "ilegítimo".

O edifício da Direcção Nacional da Alfândega, sede dos serviços aduaneiros, na Avenida dos Mártires da Pátria, em pleno centro de Díli, foi destruído por um incêndio a 06 de Agosto, após a indigitação do primeiro-ministro Xanana Gusmão.

No dia seguinte, um segundo incêndio destruiu o edifício onde estava o sistema informático da Alfândega, virado directamente à avenida e ao campo de deslocados e contíguo ao Hotel Timor.

Como estes, foram tambem detidos os comandantes da PNTL no distrito de Viqueque e sub-distrito de Uatu-lari suspeitos de estarem envolvidos no assassinato do militante da CNRT, Kudalai durante as campanhas eleitorais e dos incendios depois da tomada de posse do governo.

Devagar devagarinho vai se fazendo a limpeza dessa lixeira.

a razao porque o Mari e outros da frente ficaram preocupados pela detencao desses criminosos foi porque eles poderiam "cantar" e contar muitas historias e que m foram os verdadeiros instigadores dos incendios. Porque razao queriam queimar a documentacao na alfandega?

Claro que o deixaram sair e lhe deram dinheiro. Sabiam que iam deixar de controlar o país e queriam evitar que ele denunciasse a cumplicidade do Mari e dos outros na distribuição de armas. Os outros presos da comarca de Becora também tem direito a 30.000 dólares americanos dos cofres do Estado para fugir para a Malásia?

Justice minister Lucia Lobato said he was allowed out of jail without a single document being shown to its director. He then flew to Kuala Lumpur on August 8 in a Kuwaiti-owned Lear jet.

He had with him $US30,000 ($A35,250) from the Timorese treasury for "expenses" paid by then Fretilin prime minister Estanislau da Silva after a request from his then justice minister, Domingos Sarmento.




The newly-elected government of Xanana Gusmao may hold an inquiry to examine possible corruption charges.


East Timor fears Lobato may dodge jail

East Timor's government fears a jailed former minister, allowed to leave the country for medical care, won't return to serve his sentence for arming hit squads during last year's unrest.

The government has also flagged a possible corruption inquiry related to the case of the former Fretilin government's interior minister Rogerio Lobato.

Days before the Fretilin government lost power in August, a judge ordered his release from a Dili prison for urgent medical treatment in Malaysia.

The order was made despite only one of three doctors who examined Lobato saying he needed overseas medical care.

The other two - including an Australian doctor - had said he could receive adequate care in East Timor.

Before Lobato left the country early last month, East Timor's new government had expressed concern he might seek to remain overseas.

But East Timor's new justice minister Lucia Lobato - a younger cousin of Rogerio Lobato - said he was allowed to leave because the government could not be seen to overrule the courts.

"We could not interfere with the courts. It's a sensitive and confused situation," Ms Lobato said this week.

But she admitted her government remained "very worried" that Lobato would flee.

Lobato was convicted earlier this year of manslaughter and supplying arms to civilian hit squads tasked with eliminating government opponents in 2006.

Some 37 people were killed in the unrest, which brought the nation to a standstill.

Lobato was allowed to leave East Timor after a legal agreement was reached, saying he must return immediately after treatment.

In his court order allowing overseas treatment, Judge Ivo Rosa said the constitution enshrined the right of prisoners to adequate medical care.

But the former interior minister did not leave jail like an average felon.

Justice minister Lucia Lobato said he was allowed out of jail without a single document being shown to its director. He then flew to Kuala Lumpur on August 8 in a Kuwaiti-owned Lear jet.

He had with him $US30,000 ($A35,250) from the Timorese treasury for "expenses" paid by then Fretilin prime minister Estanislau da Silva after a request from his then justice minister, Domingos Sarmento.

The newly-elected government of Xanana Gusmao may hold an inquiry to examine possible corruption charges.

Lucia Lobato raised questions about the nature of Lobato's medical condition.

She queried why he had been operated on for a back complaint rather than the prostate and heart problems one doctor said he had.

She said Judge Rosa had also said three experts recommended treatment abroad when in fact only one did.

Of three examining doctors in Dili hospital, only Cuban Aniceto Cabeza Suarez recommended overseas treatment.

An Australian surgeon specifically stated that his various complaints were not life threatening and could be treated in East Timor.

A third doctor, a Chinese urologist, simply said Lobato should be given new medication for a benign prostate condition.

Timorese ambassador Juvencio Martins has said Lobato had a spinal disc operation in Kuala Lumpur on August 21 and has since been discharged to recover in a rented apartment.

Lucia Lobato said she was particularly concerned that Malaysia had so far not responded to East Timor's requests that it must ensure Lobato does not leave Malaysia.
