One more councillor detained in Kendari

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Kendari prosecutors detained
another councillor on Monday after apprehending 22 councillors on
graft charges on Saturday.

Yayan Hartawan, chief of the Kendari Prosecutor's Office, said
the councillor in question was Adj. Sr. Comr. RR from the
military/police fraction, who was taken into custody by the
prosecutor's office after being questioned by fellow police
officers in connection with a Rp 1.2 billion (US$106,300) graft
case.

Two other councillors from the military/police faction are
currently being questioned by military prosecutors concerning the
same case and are likely to face a military tribunal.

There are 25 councillors in the Kendari legislative council.
