"UNPKF commander Jaime De Los Santos and UNPKF`s Western Sector Commander Brig Gen Brian Lewis have stated that beside repatriating the suspect to his corps in Australia, Sergeant Person will also be legally processed for the violation he has committed," Kiki told the press at a TNI border post at Laktutus village on Monday. According to an investigation by UNTAET, Sergeant Person had ordered Paul Talo Alberto, an East Timorese, to spy on the activities of pro-integration militiamen in Atambua. Unfortunately, Paul was captured by the Indonesian police in Haikesak, an area close to the border shared by Indonesia and East Timor. Person had confessed he had picked up Paul from the latter`s house and taken him to the border to cross into Indonesian territory. Person also gave Paul a sum of money and promised him employment after successful completion of his assignment. On the possibility of more people within the UNPKF being involved in espionage, Kiki said he was not ruling it out. But what could be proved so far was only Sergeant Person`s case. General Jaime De Los Santos` statement, according to Kiki, was a response to a denial issued by an UNTAET official in Kupang, capital of East Nusa Tenggara province, several days ago. UNTAET had remained silent about the issue until Kiki brought it up on the occasion of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on technical cooperation between the National Defence Forces (TNI) and the UNKPF in Dili, capital of East Timor, not long ago.
