Prosecutors looking into graft cases

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: A senior official in the South Sulawesi
Prosecutor's Office said his office has been investigating 75
corruption cases over the last two years.

Mailan Syarief, the deputy head of the special crimes
division, said that of the 75 graft cases, the office had
completed its investigation into 41, and the dossiers on those
cases had been handed over to the district courts.

"We are now investigating the remaining 34 cases," he said on
Tuesday.

The 75 cases are thought to have cost the state dozens of
billions of rupiah in losses, he said. -- JP
