The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) says it has received
some Rp 1. 2 billion (US$ 100,000) from a total Rp 71 billion that was
allegedly embezzled by Health Ministry officials and businessmen in the ministry's
procurement of X-ray equipment in 2003.
KPK deputy chairman Bibit Samad Riyanto told kompas.com on Monday that ministry
officials had handed the money to the commission.
Previously, the KPK had declared former PT Kimia Farma director Gunawan
Pranoto, Rifa Jaya Mulya director Rinaldi Yusuf and the head of a similar X-ray
equipment procurement project (from 2007), Mardiono, as suspects in the case. (ewd)
