JAKARTA - A representative on Wednesday informed that terrorist Abu Tholut, one of the previously most-wanted men in Indonesia, will be defended by a team of sixteen attorneys.
According to the Jakarta Post, Tholut - who is also known as Imran Baihaqi - will be defended by attorneys with the Advocacy Group for Imran Baihaqi (GAIB).
TPM is the legal team which traditionally defends terrorist suspects, but GAIB attorneys Kusniati and Yuswakir personally know Tholut. They said they have been trying to contact Tholut since Wednesday morning, without luck.
"We went to the Brimob [Mobile Brigade] detention center, but then were told to come here. We were given all sorts of reasons [for not meeting Abu Tholut]," Kusniati said, according to the Jakarta Post.
Tholut was arrested on December 10 in Central Java. The terrorist was arrested at around 8.30 a.m. local time at his house in the Bae sub district of Kudus by the Densus 88 National Police anti-terror unit.
Tholut is believed to have been the field leader of the August armed robbery of the CIMB bank in Medan, North Sumatra. The incident left one police officer killed and two security guards seriously injured. He is also suspected of leading a series of other violent robberies in the surrounding areas.
Authorities said that the robberies were perpetrated in order to raise funds for an armed group that conducts military training in an Aceh forest. The training camp was organized by Tholut and is believed to be planning Mumbai-style terror attacks.
In 2004, Tholut was convicted for possession of explosives by a Jakarta court but he only served three years of his seven-year prison sentence, as he was released for good behavior in 2007.
