Laksamana to be summoned on a corruption case

Prosecutors had sent a letter to have former state-owned enterprises minister Laksamana Sukardi as the witness in the corruption allegations on former Indonesia Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) Syafruddin A. Temenggung. Laksamana is scheduled to be summoned on Wednesday.
Syafruddin was declared a suspect early last month in the illegal sale of state assets estimated to have caused losses of 500 billion rupiah (S$88 million).
Attorney-General Abdulrahman Saleh told reporters that Syafruddin had been charged with selling assets of sugar company PT Rajawali III in Gorontalo province in 2003 for 84 billion rupiah, far below the company's book value of 600 billion rupiah. Laksamana, as the minister for SOEs, was the supervisor for IBRA during the asset sale.
Laksamana was once a key ally of Mrs Megawati Soekarnoputri and former treasury of PDI-P. But he made a political maneuver against Megawati and establish a new party with some former PDI-P fellow members.
