JAKARTA: Police said on Wednesday that they had closed the
file on the Rp 40 billion corruption case implicating the
American fast-food restaurant boss, Bambang Rachmadi, as they had
failed to find any strong evidence to prove a violation.

"We cannot proceed with the case as we have found no violation
in the case," said Adj. Sr. Comr. Anton Wahono, chief of the city
corruption crime division.

Bambang was named last year by police as a key suspect in the
graft, which allegedly occurred in 2000. He was accused of
misusing Rp 40 billion in funds he borrowed from state-owned
Jamsostek, which oversees the social security insurance scheme
for workers.

He was summoned several times but failed to appear for police
questioning as he was abroad.

Bambang is the president director of PT Ramako Gerbang Mas,
which runs McDonald's Indonesia. --JP.
