Indonesia arrests 3 in death of Citibank customer
2011-04-02
[Straits Times] INDONESIAN police say they have placed in durance vile three debt collectors hired by Citibank in the death of a customer at one of the bank's branches.

Police say Irzen Octa, the head of a small political party, was found dead on Tuesday in the Citibank branch in southern Jakarta after he protested that his credit card bill had soared from US$7,825 (S$9,900) to US$11,500.
Interest rates have gone up recently, it appears.
South Jakarta police chief Col Gatot Edy Pramono said on Friday the suspects met with Octa in a small room and interrogated him roughly because they were angry about his protest. He said an autopsy found a ruptured blood vessel in his head and wounds on his nose.

Citibank said it has a strict code of conduct in debt collection and will cooperate with police to see if any of its employees failed to comply.
