Foundation's chief to queried

JAKARTA: The Attorney General's Office is scheduled to summon
Raudhlatul Jannah Foundation chairman Dadang Sukandar on
Wednesday as a witness in an alleged corruption case of Rp 40
billion of funds belonging to the State Logistics Agency (Bulog),
which has implicated several executives of the Golkar Party.

"We (the Attorney General's Office) have sent a letter to
summon Dadang Sukandar, and it (the letter) was addressed to the
House of Representatives housing complex on Jl. Batu Sari No. VI,
Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta," Office spokesman Muljohardjo told the
press on Monday.

Muljohardjo said that his office currently would not summon
speaker of the House of Representatives Akbar Tandjung, former
Armed Forces chief Wiranto, and former Bulog chief Rahardi
Ramelan for further questioning, saying that "the investigations
of these three officials is enough."

He also said that the office has yet to set a schedule to
summon former president B.J. Habibie.

As reported earlier, Rahardi, a suspect in the case, revealed
that some Rp 54.6 billion of Bulog funds, were partly given to
Akbar -- who at the time was the State/Cabinet Secretary -- and
Wiranto, for different purposes.
