Karaha Bodas file submitted

JAKARTA: The National Police said on Wednesday that they had
submitted the case file of three men suspected of corruption in
the Karaha Bodas project in Garut, West Java to the Jakarta
Prosecutor's Office.

"We submitted the case file on Monday. We charged them under
the anticorruption law. We don't need to detain them as we are
keeping a close eye on them. Don't worry, we have imposed travel
bans on them," National Police director of the anticorruption
division Brig. Gen. Indarto told The Jakarta Post.

Police named former head of Pertamina's geothermal division
Priyanto, member of his staff, Syafei Sulaiman, and American
Robert D. McKutchen of the U.S-based Karaha Bodas Company as
suspects for their alleged roles in fictitious transactions and
markups in the project.

Indarto said that they had caused US$50 billion in state
losses. -- JP
