AKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is extending the detention of 19 of the 24 suspects in a central bank vote-buying case involving traveler’s checks.
“We are extending the detention period by another 40 days to facilitate our investigation,” KPK spokesperson Johan Budi said Wednesday.
The first period of detention for the 19 suspects, who were arrested on Jan. 28, was about to expire. The Criminal Code stipulates that a suspect can be held and questioned by investigators for 20 days prior to being charged with an offense. If the investigation is considered incomplete, the detention period may be extended for a maximum of 40 more days. According to the law, after a total of 60 days, investigators must release the detainee. — JP
