Green light for probe in Aceh

JAKARTA: Aceh military commander Maj. Gen. Endang Suwarya said
on Friday any military officers in Aceh were ready for
questioning in connection with alleged corruption cases that took
place during the one-year martial law in the province.

"We are ready to be grilled. We don't think we are guilty, but
please go ahead with the investigation," he said after a ceremony
at the Indonesia Military (TNI) Headquarters in Jakarta.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has announced the
TNI was involved in alleged irregularities in some of 68 projects
worth Rp 2.7 trillion during the implementation of the martial
law.

Endang said military internal affairs staff had investigated
the cases and found no violations.

"If the KPK says so, we are ready for the questioning. But
they must prove (their charges) in accordance with the law," he
said. -- Antara
