AGO grills RI ambassador to Thailand in graft case

JAKARTA: The Attorney General's Office is questioning the Indonesian Ambassador to Thailand and graft suspect, Muhammad Hatta, over his alleged role in cases that caused Rp 7 billion (US$ 700,000) in state losses.

Kompas.com has reported that the ambassador arrived at the AGO building at 8 a.m. for questioning.

Muhammad finally turned up for the session after missing a scheduled interrogation two weeks ago citing health reasons.

In the same case, the AGO has also declared deputy head of mission Djumantoro Purbo and treasurer Suheani as suspects. - JP
