Corruption report rocks antigraft body

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Deputy chief of the North Sumatra
Prosecutor's Office Charles Mindamora Harahap said here on Friday
he had reported alleged bribery in the election of Mayor Abdillah
to the newly established joint anticorruption team in Jakarta.

"The case has been reported to the joint team led by former
supreme justice Adi Andojo," he said as quoted by Antara.

The team comprises 25 members, who include law practitioners
and professionals.

About the possibility of the establishment of a similar team
at the provincial level, Harahap said it would be called the task
Force in the provinces.

"It will consist of several professionals like attorneys,
police officers or members of independent non-governmental
organizations," he said.

Police have started investigating the report on corruption,
which allegedly involves members of the Medan legislative
council. (09)
