Bustanil acquitted of Bulog charges

JAKARTA: The Attorney General's Office has halted the
investigation into former head of the State Logistics Agency
(Bulog) Bustanil Arifin for alleged corruption, due to
insufficient evidence.

The office said in a statement that there were as yet no
regulations that govern the use of non-budgetary funds belonging
to the agency and, therefore, Bustanul could not be held
accountable.

Bustanil was accused of corrupting the agency's non-budgetary
funds that cost the state Rp 14.8 billion (US$1.82 million),
during his term between 1988 and 1993. -- Antara
