Alleged 'Cendana' companies listed

SERANG, West Java: The Serang prosecutors office is currently making an inventory of companies who are suspected of being owned or closely associated with former president Soeharto and his family.

"We hope that the whole community will cooperate in helping us collect data of companies and other assets which are related to Cendana," said chief prosecutor Haswir Harun here yesterday.

The move he said was in response to Attorney General Soedjono Atmonegoro's statement that his office would follow up on demands to investigate possible corruption related to the former president.

Antara reported that several major factories in the area are suspected to be linked to the former president or his family such as petrochemical factory PT. Chandra Asri built in Ciwandan.
