Acting National Police Chief Badrodin Haiti confirmed that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Deputy Chief Bambang Widjojanto would not be held in custody. The police only scheduled Bambang for an interrogation.
“There was a deal with the leaders of the KPK that after the interrogation, the investigators would not hold [Bambang] in custody,” Badrodin said today, as quoted by Detik.
Badrodin also confirmed that the case was triggered by a report from Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician Sugianto Sabran. The police are in possession of three items of evidence to be used against Bambang.
Badrodin did not comment on the alleged ‘rough treatment’ made as the police arrested Bambang this morning. Badrodin said such a treatment would be part of an investigative method.
