C
hief of the National Police's detective corps Comr. Gen. Budi Waseso has stressed that the police will follow up on the report from lawyer Otto Cornelis Kaligis that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was involved in an abduction and abuse of power when they forced Kaligis to attend an interrogation on July 14.
Kaligis was named a graft suspect after the interrogation. Kaligis, who has been detained by the KPK since then, was named a suspect in connection with a bribery case that allegedly involved a lawyer in his firm bribing Medan Administrative Court judges and a court clerk.
During a pretrial hearing on Monday, the South Jakarta District Court rejected Kaligis' demands to have his status as a corruption suspect annulled.
Budi said that the court's decision had nothing to do with Kaligis' report. 'The report is about the alleged abduction and abuse of power by the KPK investigators,' Budi was quoted by Antara news agency as saying.
The KPK also named suspended North Sumatra Governor Gatot Pujo Nugroho and his wife Evi Susanto as suspects for their alleged role in the bribery case. (bbn)(++++)
