Bandung Mayor Mayor Dada Rosada made an unique opening statement as he was questioned for the first time in relation to a major corruption scandal involving Rp 80 billion ($8.72 million) — he returned some the money.

“The mayor of Bandung returned Rp 2.45 billion,” West Java prosecutor Fadil Zumhanna was quoted by Detik.com as saying on Tuesday.

“The money is still far from the losses [allegedly] suffered by the state, not even one tenth of it,” Fadil said. “But we respect it.”

Dada, a politician from the Golkar Party, was being questioned as a witness in relation to corruption surrounding the 2009-10 local budget.
