Former top MEMR official named as suspect

The Prosecutor's Office of South and West Sulawesi has named EL, a former official at Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) as suspect in a graft case relating to a 2012 house hold gas installation project, Tempo.co said Saturday.

While the Office spokesman Muliadi did reveal the identity of EL, Tempo asked for confirmation with MEMR Secretary General Teguh Pamudji whether Evita Legowo, former director general of oil and gas, has been named suspect in the case.

Teguh declined to confirm.(*)
