There is no reason to hold Freeport responsible for anything Simbolon might have done prior to his association with the company, but the information in the public domain in 2001 was sufficient to make clear that he was a controversial officer with a gigantic question mark over his associations and activities in East Timor, and that a company entering into any kind of relationship with him should exercise extreme caution. Global Witness has learned, however, of a series of payments between May 2001 and March 2003, totalling US$247,705, that appear to have been made by Freeport Indonesia to Simbolon. The payments are as follows: • A payment worth US$47,568 in May 2001, described byFreeport Indonesia as being for an army hospital in Jayapura; • A payment worth US$64,655 in May 2002, described as being for a military project; • A payment worth US$10,000 in July 2 002, described as being for an anniversary party for the Trikora military command; • A payment worth US$67,682 in December 2002, described as being for a humanitarian project; Major-General Mahidin Simbolon.

The July 2001 payment wasdescribed as being for security services and those formJanuary to March 2003 were described as being foradministrative costs. All the other monthly paymentswere described as being for food costs. With the exception of two monthly payments in 2003, it appears that the recipient of these payments was not the Indonesian government but Mahidin Simbolon himself. Freeport Indonesia appears to have paid another US$25,000 to third parties for costs incurred by the general and Mrs Simbolon, including US$7,000 for hotel costs and more than US$16,000 in other costs, much of which appears to have been for travel.
