PALU, Central Sulawesi: Fearing corruption charges, former
Donggala councillors returned some of what they had taken on
Monday to the Central Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office.

Former councillor Hafip Ponulele handed over a motorcycle last
Friday, while former councillor Peterson Tampusu handed over a
Yamaha motorcycle and Rp 5 million (US$532) cash to provincial
councillors on Monday.

The cash and the motorcycle came from the regency's 2003
budget that prosecutors claim was corrupted by the former
councillors. The total amount allegedly embezzled by the former
Donggala councillors reached Rp 7.8 billion. -- JP
