SURABAYA, East Java: A Taiwanese national is being tried in
court here on charges of trying to smuggle ebony out of the
country.

In the opening trial, the government prosecutor said the
accused colluded with a local business woman to illegally export
109 cubic meters of ebony.

The defendant, the prosecutor said, had the export documents
forged, causing the state to lose Rp 74 million ($35,000) in tax.
