T
he Attorney General's Office (AGO) claims to have discovered suspicious cash flow in former Jakarta Transportation Agency head Udar Pristono's bank account.
According to junior attorney general for special crimes Widyo Pramono, the AGO has been investigating Udar's account since he was arrested last week in connection with the procurement of faulty Transjakarta buses from China worth Rp 1 trillion (US$83 million).
'We found some suspicious activity in his bank account and we will continue to investigate the matter,' Widyo said on Thursday as quoted by kompas.com.
'We will seize some of his assets if we obtain concrete data regarding his purchases and cash flow,' he added.
The Rp 1 trillion bus procurement was budgeted to finance the acquisition of 644 buses from China, but so far only 125 buses have arrived and less than half of the money has been spent. Out of the 125 buses currently in Jakarta, 15 have been found to have rusty or damaged parts. Udar has since been removed from his post.
