JAKARTA: The Directorate General of Immigration has complied with a request by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to issue travel bans on 26 suspects in a central bank vote-buying scandal.
“We officially issued the bans on Sept. 8,” immigration spokesman Maroloan M.J. Barimbing was quoted as saying Thursday by news portal detik.com.
He added that the suspects would be prohibited from traveling overseas for one year.
Former national development planning minister from the Golkar Party, Paskah Suzetta, and a senior politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle are among the graft suspects who allegedly accepted bribes to support Miranda S. Goeltom’s bid to be Bank Indonesia senior deputy governor in 2004. — JP
