ANDUNG: West Java Police are investigating the alleged embezzlement of Rp 19 billion (US$1.3 billion) in funds related to the procurement of medical equipment for the eradication of bird flu in Ciamis regency, West Java.

Head of the police corruption division Adj. Sr. Comr. Sony Sanjaya said that the alleged graft took place during the procurement of equipment allocated for the 2007 regency budget.

"We suspected irregularities in the tender for the procurement," Sony said on Friday.

He said the police had questioned 11 officials of the regency as witnesses, but had not declared any suspects in the case.

Without giving details of the equipment, Sony said the price of the equipment was allegedly marked up.
