A former staff member of the Corruption Eradication Commission who allegedly embezzled some of the commission’s budget might be sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

Endro Laksono, a former staff member of the corruption prevention division, failed to provide a clear report of the KPK’s prevention division budget use.

During his trial on Thursday, prosecutor Surma said that between February and December 2009, Endro received a budget worth Rp 1.5 billion ($166, 500).

“The money was supposed to be used to pay the travel expenses of the prevention division of the KPK,” Surma said.

However, Endro could only explain the use of Rp 935.9 million. He submitted Rp 235 million to his superior Mamik Puji Lestari, the treasurer of the prevention division.

“He could not account for the rest, Rp 388 million,” Surma said, adding that it had been used for Endro’s personal interests.
 
Endro gave the money to someone namely Syamsu Maarif in West Java. He also made 28 transfers to the bank account of Lina Kartika. He was discharged from his position on Sept. 30.
