Actress accused of swindling

JAKARTA (JP): A company commissioner has reported a former
film actress to police for allegedly embezzling Rp 2 billion
(US$858,369).

The money was gained from receipts of September's National
Games, a detective said.

City Detectives Chief Col. Paimin Abuamr said Rubby Caturina
reported Debbie Cynthia Dewi for the alleged crime. Debbie is
also the company's director, PT Debbytama Promindo.

"We are still investigating the report," Paimin was quoted as
saying by Antara news agency Friday.

Rubby said Debbie fired her when she asked about the money
gained from the receipts.

The report said the police questioned the secretary-general of
the Indonesian Chess Association, Djamil Djamal, as a witness.

PT Promindo, the association's partner which raises funds for
sport events, was a fund-raiser for the National Games. (jun)
