JAKARTA: The Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Endriartono
Sutarto said on Wednesday that he had ordered an investigation
into corruption allegedly perpetrated by his institution during
the implementation of martial law in Aceh.

"We have audited the funds and found no violations. But based
on KPK information, I have ordered (TNI's) internal supervision
division to investigate it. We will be transparent, but we have
to wait for the result of the investigation," he told reporters.

Endriartono was referring to the Corruption Eradication
Commission, which announced last week the alleged
misappropriation of Rp 2.7 trillion in state funds in a total of
68 projects during martial law in Aceh. Two of the projects
involved the TNI. -- JP
