JAKARTA: The police have extended the detention period of
former lawmaker Nurdin Halid, a suspect in the smuggling of
73,000 tons of sugar from Thailand last May, for another 30 days,
pending his transfer to prosecutors.

National Police chief of detectives Comr. Gen. Suyitno Landung
said on Friday, due to the extension Nurdin would remain in
police custody until Dec. 27.

Suyitno also said the police were still coordinating with
prosecutors on a convenient date for the transfer. Prosecutors
have already accepted the case file of his involvement in sugar
smuggling early this year. -- JP
