KPK DETAINS FORMER JAKARTA ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL
Jakarta, March 19 (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Friday detained former chief of the Jakarta administration's legal affairs bureau Journal Effendi Siahaan over an alleged graft case in the production of public service advertisement.
Journal was taken to the Cipinang penitentiary in East Jakarta aboard a prison car at around 08.15 after being grilled for nearly 10 hours.
He told the press that he was a victim of consiperacy by a handful of people who disliked him.
He said they plotted to bring him to justice after he refused to take a bribe of Rp40 billion from Sauri Gading in the purchase of the West Jakarta municipal office.
"Sauri Gading tried to bribe me but I rejected the bribe totaling Rp40 billion. If I accepted the bribe I myself would receive Rp5 billion," he said.
KPK spokesman Johan Budi confirmed that the commission had detained the former chief of the Jakarta administration's legal affairs bureau on graft charges.
The results of investigation conducted by the KPK suggested that Journal had allegedly received 10 percent of the project worth Rp5.6 billion. As a result, the state suffered Rp3.9 billion in losses.***
