I have reported all the 11 projects to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)."Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Corruption convict and former Democrat Party treasurer Muhammad Nazaruddin has said corrupt practices in 11 government projects have caused the state losses of Rp6 trillion.
"I have reported all the 11 projects to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Corruption in these projects involved bribery during the production of the national electronic identity card, the construction of Constitutional Court`s building and the tax office building, and a fictitious project at Merpati Airline, worth Rp2 trillion," he said after being questioned by KPK officials here on Friday.
According to Nazaruddin, Golkar Party, Democrat Party, and Democratic Indonesia Struggle Party (PDIP) gave bribe money to parliament members.
Nazaruddin was earlier sentenced to four years and ten months in jail for taking bribes in connection with the SEA Games Athlete's Village project in Palembang.
He had then filed an appeal to the Supreme Court, but the court rejected it and increased his sentence to seven years of imprisonment.
The head of the panel of judges hearing the appeal, Artidjo Alkostar, said the Supreme Court had met the prosecution`s demand and sentenced the defendant to seven years in jail.
The judges had also increased the fine imposed on the defendant to Rp300 million.
