It currently reads "Susilo to set up security and economic councils".
It looks like the original article was clobbered -- a reason to

Jakarta Police officers have arrested an Air Force officer and
three civilians for trading in counterfeit U.S. dollar bank notes
and seized the equivalent of US$246,000. ...

The counterfeit banknotes displayed at the police headquarters
were in different tones of black tint. Some of them looked similar
to the real ones, but others looked slightly gray.

However, if the banknote was touched, it had a similar texture as
the real money and even that new dollar smell.

Earlier, the police explained that counterfeit money syndicates
had a similar modus operandi as drug syndicates. They had a long
chain of syndicate members, who only knew their immediate superior
and not other members of the syndicate.

Frequently, the police lose track at the middle of the chain and
seldom arrest the top members of such vice syndicates.
