UPANG: A former Ende regent, currently a councilor from the Golkar Party, has been detained by prosecutors over an allegation that he embezzled Rp 3.5 billion (US$388,700) from the 2005 regional budget.
Paulinus Domi was held Wednesday in the prosecutor's custody following a four-hour probe.
Suhardi from the prosecutor's office said the former regent was alleged of granting businessman Samuel Matutina a loan that was disbursed at two different times, receiving Rp 2.3 billion and Rp 1.2 billion respectively.
The loan has not been returned according to Suhardi.
Paulinus defended the allegations.
