Jakarta – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said Wednesday that it had yet to find any indications of corruption after questioning 111 witnesses in connection with the Bank Century bailout.
"The temporary investigation results have not found any corruption indications yet," Deputy Chairman of the KPK M. Jasin said in a meeting held by the Bank Century Supervisory Committee of the House of Representatives at the House building in Jakarta.
Also attending the meeting were National Police Chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri and Attorney General Hendarman Supandji.
A member of the committee from Golkar, Bambang Soesatyo, said he was disappointed with the KPK's investigation results.
He said that the House plenary session in March had found 60 indications of misuse of power in the bailout process. "We challenge the KPK to expose the case, so that everything will be clear," he told the meeting.
The House declared the bailout flawed in early March and demanded that legal measures be taken against anyone found to have committed corruption.
The bailout was authorized in November 2008 by the then Bank Indonesia governor, Boediono, who is now vice president, and the then finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, who is now one of the World Bank's managing directors. (rdf)
