JAKARTA: The interdepartmental anticorruption team expects to
complete its investigation into an alleged lending scam in state-
owned Bank Mandiri this month.

"We are ready to submit the dossiers to the prosecutors," the
team head, Herdarman Supandji, said on Tuesday. He added that
barring unforeseen glitches, the court case could start next
month.

The Attorney General's Office has named former president
director Edward Cornelis William Neloe, his former deputy I Wayan
Pugeg and former corporate banking director M. Sholeh Tasripan
suspects for giving their approval for loans to four companies,
which caused Rp 1.3 trillion (US$134 million) in state losses.

The three suspects have been detained since May 17. -- JP
