Prosecutor's office probes bank corruption scam<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta Prosecutor's Office is investigating
\na new corruption case involving nearly Rp 2 billion which
\nallegedly involved two top officials of city-owned Bank DKI, a
\nformer employee of the bank said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said
\nthe prosecutor's office summoned nine employees of the bank to
\ntestify against the bank's incumbent president Maman Soelasman
\nand director of general affairs Djunaedy Albaghdady.<\/p>\n
The personnel handed over accounting ledgers and used
\nwithdrawal forms as evidence that Maman and Djunaedy withdrew
\noffice up to about Rp 1 billion each for personal expenses over
\nthe past four months.<\/p>\n
\"Maman and Djunaedy at times withdrew up to Rp 50 million for
\nan office meeting that cost no more than Rp 2 million. Bank slips
\nand signatures on the ledgers are now being kept as evidence at
\nthe prosecutor's office,\" the employee said.<\/p>\n
The nine employees summoned to give statements at the
\nprosecutor's office included Carolina Nursaid, head of the bank's
\nsecretariat and general affairs bureau; Yenita Elsa, head of the
\nbank's secretariat and general affairs division, and Patra Kadri,
\na staffer of the bank's general affairs section.<\/p>\n
\"I have no idea if the central bank is aware of this. If it
\nis, it has made a mistake in hiding this information,\" the
\nexecutive said.<\/p>\n
\"This proves that when the central bank, the city
\nadministration and the Ministry of Home Affairs made a recent
\nstatement through the local media that both Maman's and
\nDjunaedy's personal records were absolutely clean, it was a lie.\"<\/p>\n
Apart from this case, Djunaedy is also one of three people
\ncurrently undergoing investigation at the prosecutor's office for
\nsaddling the bank with Rp 172 billion in bad credits.<\/p>\n
The other two, namely former bank president Soeharto and
\nformer marketing director Bassar Soetardjo, were replaced in
\nJanuary by Maman and Siti Aisyah Margareth Rose Harahap
\nrespectively.<\/p>\n
Siti was fired on May 7 by Governor Sutiyoso on grounds of
\nusing a fake university degree to apply for the job.<\/p>\n
Siti, who claims the allegation is a lie, said it was a ploy
\nby the administration to stop her from revealing data, which she
\ngathered in her four-month tenure as director, on corrupt high-
\nranking officials in the administration and Bank DKI. (ylt)<\/p>",
