he Attorney General's Office (AGO) has completed the case dossier of television comedian Mandra Naih, who has been charged with graft.
'His case dossier is complete,' Maruli Hutagalung, the investigative director under the junior attorney general of special crimes, told reporters on Wednesday.
The AGO had accused Mandra, known for his role as a sidekick to Rano Karno's character in Si Doel Anak Sekolahan (si Doel the School Boy) and three others as suspects in a corruption case involving state-owned TV station TVRI.
The prosecutor in the case, Sarjono Turin, said that the dossier and evidence would be handed over to the South Jakarta Prosecutor's Office later this week.
'We will submit it to the South Jakarta's Prosecutor's Office and he will be tried at the Jakarta Corruption Court,' he said.
The AGO first investigated the case in 2012 after receiving reports that there had been irregularities in some television programs broadcast by TVRI.
The probe later found that Mandra's company, PT Viandra Production, the programs' production house, had failed to meet its obligations based on a contract it signed with TVRI.
