Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The attorney general office is investigating corruption cases in the sales of asset of state lender PT Bank Mandiri of Surabaya.

"The case is being investigated," said Setia Untung Arimuladi, the head of the Information Center of the Attorney General office here on Thursday night.

The case concerns the sales of 3,681 square meters of land and buildings in April 2004 causing a loss of more than Rp9 billion to the state.

The assets were sold at Rp12 billion as against the price of more than Rp21.3 billion based on the tax object sale value (NJOP) in 2003.

Earlier, in the same case H Mudjadi H. MA, an official of the bank was already convicted serving one year in jail with a fine of Rp5 million.

Mudjadi was found guilty by the Surabaya district court of selling the assets much below the real price to Widjiono Nurhadi the winner of the tender.

The tender used the NJOP of 2001 as the price reference which was much lower than the NJOP of 2003.(*)
