JAKARTA: The interdepartmental anticorruption team has
launched investigations into four more graft cases involving
government institutions.

Head of the team, Hendarman Supandji, who is also the deputy
attorney general for special crimes, said on Wednesday that the
cases involved state-owned firm Pertamina Energy Trading Ltd
(Petral), the Ministry of Defense, the Gelora Bung Karno sports
complex management company and state-owned fertilizer company PT
Pupuk Kaltim.

Hendarman said that the estimated losses caused by alleged
corruption in Petral alone reached US$8 million. The team is
still calculating the losses resulting from the three other
cases.

The investigations follow reports from the Supreme Audit
Agency (BPK). -- JP
