Golkar leader detained for graft

BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: The secretary of the Golkar provincial
chapter in Lampung, Oktavianus, was placed under the custody of
the prosecutors' office on Friday for alleged corruption.

The suspect was sent to Rajabasa Penitentiary after hours of
questioning.

Lampung prosecutors' office deputy chief Darmono said
Oktavianus was accused of misusing Rp 15.8 billion (about US$1.7
million) in state funds allocated for literature, in cooperation
with another suspect Sutoto, the head of the province's education
office.

Darmono said Oktavianus was detained because he would not
cooperative during questioning and had defied three summons.

Sutoto has been in detention since earlier this year. - Antara
