Former Indonesian governor stands trial

Burhanuddin Abdullah, the former governor of Bank Indonesia who is facing corruption charges, appeared in court on Wednesday.

Abdullah was accused of causing losses to the state of Rp100 billion ($10.8m) and could face a maximum of 20 years if convicted, local media reports say.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the country's powerful anti-graft authority, arrested and questioned the former governor on 20 February, when he was still in charge of the central bank.
