Prosecutor wants lecturer to be jailed

JAKARTA (JP): A state prosecutor asked the East Jakarta District Court yesterday to sentence a lecturer to two years jail for misusing Rp 196,900,000 (US$82,041) of college funds.

Prosecutor Agung Dipo said Pieter Neke, a vice director of the College of Management Science (STIM), in his capacity as secretary of the committee of state examination, had embezzled examination fees.

Agung said the student fees, totaling Rp 121,510,000, were not deposited into the college's bank account but into his own.

Agung said Pieter also stole Rp 72,440,000 from the college when he was managing a cooperation program between the school and the Indonesian Academy of Secretary and Management (ASMI).

The prosecutor said the money was paid by Benny Tengker, the ASMI director, to fund the academy employees' management education program.

Pieter was also charged with misusing Rp 2,950,000 from a funding to computerize examination marks, which was paid by Dajim Sinaga, the examination committee chairman.

The session was adjourned until Jan. 6, 1997. (05)
