Headmistress tried for fraud

Srijatun Gasim, the headmistress of Hang Tuah primary school
in Cipulir, South Jakarta, is being tried for fraud at the South
Jakarta District Court.

Prosecutor Happy Hadiastuti said on Wednesday that the
defendant rented a truck from H.A. Setiawati on Aug. 23, 1993
and promised to pay him Rp 200,000 a month, but she then pawned
it to Sugeng Wiyono to help finance her business. Srijatun
received Rp 3.5 million for the sale.

The prosecutor said Setiawati suffered a financial loss of Rp
4.5 million due to the defendant's failure to pay the rent.

The defendant, if found guilty, faces a maximum of four years
in jail. (03)
