1. Dicurigai terlibat dalam Kasus ABEPURA. [SUSPECTED BEING INVOLVED IN BLOODY ABEPURA, 06 DECEMBER 2000).

2. Dicurigai terlibat dalam kasus Rapat gelap di tanah Hitam bersama Mahasiswa utk menyerang Pos-2 Militer (sesuai isyu yg sudah dikembangkan oleh KAPOLDA beberapa hari lalu di CEPOS).

[WE THEN ASKED THE IDENTITIES OF THE INFORMANTS AND THEY SAID THEIR NAMES WERE: 1. GOMBO, 2. TABUNI, AND 3. KOGOYA. ALL WERE ONLY FAMILIY NAMES, NOT THEIR FIRST NAMES. THEY DID NOT MENTION THEIR FIRST NAMES, WHICH IS A CLASIC WAY TO MANIPULATE THE PEOPLE AND TO TRIGGER TENSIONS AMONG THE TRIBAL PEOPLE.]

Kami berbicara dengan Benny hanya dalam waktu 2 menit dan dia bilang dokumen atau surat-surat
