The fallout from the indictment on a vote-buying case in the House of Representatives has led to four more legislators being named for allegedly receiving bribes in the 2004 election of the central bank’s deputy governor.
This brings the total number of legislators implicated to 23.
Prosecutors read out the indictment at the Corruption Court on Thursday against the defendant, Udju Djuhaeri, a former member of the Indonesian Military and police wing at the parliament and former member of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).
Prosecutors also said Udju admitted to accepting bribes to vote for Miranda Swaray Goeltom, who won and was elected Bank Indonesia senior deputy governor.
According to the indictment, Udju along with three fellows legislators from the same faction, Sulistiyadi, Darsup Yusuf and Suyitno, each received an envelope containing 10 traveler’s checks worth Rp 50 million each.
The four went to the office of PT Wahana Esa Sejati on Jl. Riau, Central Jakarta, to meet with Ahmad Hakim Safari, also known as Arie Malangjudo, who gave them the envelopes, packed in a larger envelope with a white mark.
Arie was allegedly the middleman for Nunun Nurbaeti, the wife of Comr. Gen. (ret.) Adang Daradjatun, a former National Police deputy chief, now a Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) legislator.
