Indonesian Central Bank Governor Arrested Over Corruption Charges
2008-04-10 13:52:00 Indonesia's central bank governor was arrested Thursday in connection with an $11 million corruption case ? the latest in a string of scandals to hit the bank, an anti-graft body said.Burhanuddin Abdullah ? who has denied wrongdoing ? will be detained for 20 days while authorities complete their investigation into the misappropriation of bank funds, said Johan Budi, a spokesman for the Corruption Eradication Commission.But he said there was enough evidence to show that Bank Indonesia's outgoing chief and other officials transferred $11 million to several former members of parliament in 2004 to help pave the way for the passage of amendments to the central bank law.The bank has been the subject of several investigations since the 1997-98 financial crisis, when it lent billions of dollars in emergency funds to banks that later closed without paying their debts.
