A Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) official says the commission leaders are discussing whether to grant a detention transfer request filed earlier by high-profile graft suspect Muhammad Nazaruddin.
“It's still 50-50,” KPK deputy chief for crime prevention Muhammad Jasin said Wednesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Through his lawyer, OC Kaligis, Nazaruddin earlier said he would refuse to cooperate with KPK investigators, in a protest over the solitary confinement he has been placed in since returning to Indonesia earlier this month.
Nazaruddin has been named a suspect in a corruption case linked to a construction project for the upcoming SEA Games. The same case has seen three other people named suspects — Mindo Rosa Manullang, Muhammad El Idris and Wafid Muharram.
