JAKARTA: Investigations into a luxury yacht linked to a cross-border financial case are continuing, with the National Police questioning officers from the immigration office and the Benoa harbor authority on Friday. The police are now looking into whether or not the yacht violated immigration procedures in entering Indonesian waters, while still investigating the purpose of the visit in Bali. Rando Purba, the lawyer of yacht’s crew, said his clients denied the allegation that they tried to avoid FBI pursuit, saying the yacht entered Indonesia for vacation purposes. “It was to enjoy Indonesia,” Rando told The Jakarta Post. From Phuket, the yacht continued its trip to Bali with the AIS turned on, he added.
