KPK Deputy Chief Bambang Widjojanto
The National Police Crime Investigation Unit (Bareskrim) arrested the deputy chief of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Bambang Widjojanto this morning. It is still unknown why Bambang was arrested.
“Yes [Bambang] was arrested by the Bareskrim. Maybe right now he’s in Bareskrim,” said Johan Budi, deputy head of prevention at KPK, as quoted by Detik.
Bambang was arrested as he was driving his children to school.
“There is no information as to what case [Bambang] was arrested for,” Johan said.
Tension between the police and the KPK have been high ever since the KPK named National Police Chief candidate Budi Gunawan a graft suspect.
