Brawijaya, South Jakarta, on Tuesday night for allegedly accepting bribes totalingU$700,000 on two separate occasions from a foreign company.
'We have apprehended three people, identified as R, S and E. The last two are from a private company,' KPK spokesman Johan Budi SP said late Tuesday, tempo.co reported.
KPK investigators also brought in Rudi's driver for questioning and confiscated a luxury motorbike, a black bag and a stack of documents.
Rudi is currently being questioned at the KPK headquarters. According to the Corruption Eradication Law, the KPK has one day to determine Rudi's legal status.
SKK Migas spokesman Agus Budiyanto confirmed Rudi's arrest, saying the agency was waiting for KPK's next move before issuing a statement.
