Indonesians tried for fraud in Australia

JAKARTA: Six Indonesians are currently on trial in Melbourne,
Australia, for credit card fraud, an official from the Indonesian
consulate, Kamapradipta, said on Tuesday, dismissing suggestions
they were being tried for involvement in terrorism.

"They were arrested on Sept. 8 for credit card fraud and are
also being tried for overstaying their visas and for using fake
passports to enter Australia," Kamapradipta told The Jakarta
Post.

Media reports suggested on Tuesday the six were linked to the
bombing near the Australian Embassy in Jakarta on Sept. 9 that
killed at least nine people.

Kamapradipta also said one Chinese national and one Australian
were arrested in connection with an Asian credit card fraud
network. --JP
