Indonesia: Corruption allegations to be investigated in Moluccas
According to the Jakarta Post daily the Moluccas Development and Finance Audit
Body (BPKP) will immediately investigate three major corruption cases involving
several million US Dollars.
One of the cases to be investigated concerns allegations of irregularities in the
allocation of US$2 million in assistance funds allocated for the resettlement of
internally displaced people throughout the Moluccas. The probes are said to have
been recommended by the Governor of Moluccas, Karel Albert Ralahalu Chusein who
recently sent a letter to the province's BPKP. "We will visit refugees to collect
evidence. If they say they never received funds to return to their homes, it means
there are violations," he said.
