Ex-PLN boss in graft case

Tangerang: The Tangerang prosecutors office named the former
secretary of the Tangerang state electricity provider (PLN),
along with three of his staff, as suspects in a case of alleged
corruption involving Rp 11 billion, carried out between 1990 and
2000.

Prosecutor's office chief Purwosudiro confirmed on Monday
that the four suspects were former PLN office secretary
Katiyanto, and his three staff Nur Hasan, Budi Indra and Adin
Saepudin.

Purwo said the office had also confiscated several
properties alleged to have been bought by the
suspects, using money stolen from PLN. The properties
include a car (registration number B9716HC), one Kopaja bus
(B7745GD), four houses in separate locations in Tangerang and 10
hectares of building land in several locations in Tangerang and
Pacitan, Central Java.

Separately, prosecutor Ferry Silalahi, who is responsible for
special crimes at the office, said that he would investigate all
of the seized properties.

Asnawai Sabrawi, the chief of Tangerang PLN office, who was
also arrested along with Katiyanto and the three staff in June
this year, was still being investigated by another team of
prosecutors. --JP
