Detained Pertamina boss hospitalized
JAKARTA (JP): Former president of state-owned oil and gas
company Pertamina Faisal Abda'oe, currently under house arrest by
the Attorney General's Office, was treated at Pertamina Hospital
in South Jakarta for a heart attack late Thursday.
Prosecutor Barman Zahir said his office had issued a letter
allowing Abda'oe to be treated at the hospital due to his
deteriorating health.
"Permission was granted for humanitarian reasons," Barman
said, adding that the prosecutors would also closely monitor
Abda'oe during his stay in hospital.
Abda'oe was initially detained at the prosecutor's office and
later kept under house arrest due to his poor health.
He was named as a suspect in a corruption case in the oil
piping project involving Pertamina and PT Ustraindo Petro Gas,
partly owned by former Soeharto's eldest daughter Siti Hardiyanti
"Tutut" Indra Rukmana.
The alleged corruption reportedly caused US$24.8 million in
losses to the state. (emf)
