The House of Representatives’ inquiry committee on the Bank Century bailout case will have another meeting with the Financial Transaction and Analysis Center (PPATK) on Tuesday.

"In this meeting, we hope the PPATK manages to give a more complete report regarding its audit of the bank, any suspicious names related to politicians, any suspicious depositors related to state-owned enterprises, and any other fishy transactions," the committee chairman, Golkar Party's Idrus Marham, said in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Idrus said that, based on the data the committee had gathered so far, the legislators had seen there was no relevance to summoning President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in relation to the case.

Later on Tuesday night, the committee is scheduled to meet with the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to discuss the case, a bank bailout that increased tenfold to Rp 6.76 trillion (US$716 million) from its original estimate.

The bailout was authorized in November 2008 by former Bank Indonesia governor Boediono, now vice president, and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati.

Both Mulyani and Boediono said the President knew about the bailout.
