KPK extends detention of ex-FM official

T

he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has extended the detention period for former Foreign Ministry secretary-general Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat for another month.

The KPK detained Sudjadnan in connection with a graft case in the abuse of funds for international conferences at the ministry in November 2013.

'€œThis is only an extension of my detention,'€ Sudjadnan said as quoted by tribunnews.com on Wednesday.

Sudjadnan was previously convicted for mismanaging the renovation of Indonesia'€™s embassy in Singapore in 2003.

In the current case, Sudjadnan allegedly abused his authority and misappropriated funds for the ministry'€™s activities, such as seminars between 2004 and 2005, allegedly causing Rp 18 billion (US$1.5 million) in state losses.
