JAKARTA: Former Bank Indonesia governor Soedradjat Djiwandono
insisted on Tuesday that he had not received a summons from the
Attorney General's Office for questioning as a suspect in a Rp 19
trillion (US$2.1 billion) financial scandal involving Bank
Indonesia's liquidity support (BLBI) scheme.

Soedradjat, also a witness in the trial of his former
subordinate Hendrobudiyanto, told reporters after the hearing
that he would be in Jakarta for a while, but refused to
elaborate.

"I still have to appear in court tomorrow ... No, no summons
yet," he said.

Soedradjat, along with his three subordinates who are
currently being tried in separate trials, is suspected of abusing
his power by extending credit facilities to now-defunct
commercial banks during his tenure between 1996 and February
1998.

The son-in-law of the late economics guru Soemitro
Djojohadikusumo, Soedradjat is currently a researcher at the
Singapore-based Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS).

The Attorney General's Office said that the investigators are
still scheduling Soedradjat's questioning. --JP
