JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it has handed over recordings of a controversial wiretapped phone conversation, in which businessmen and high-ranking law enforcement officials allegedly plotted to incriminate two KPK leaders, to the police.

"The recordings are now with *the police*," KPK interim chairman Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean told news portal kompas.com on Thursday.

The recordings, played publicly at the Constitutional Court earlier this month, contain conversations between businessman Anggodo Widjojo (brother of graft suspect Anggoro Widjojo), middleman Ari Muladi and several high-ranking officials from the Attorney General's Office and the police allegedly plotting to incriminate two suspended KPK leaders.

Police have charged KPK deputy chairmen Chandra M. Hamzah and Bibit Samad Rianto with bribery and abuse of power. - JP
