T
he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is scheduled to again question Supreme Court secretary Nurhadi Abdurachman over a graft case involving the clerk of the Central Jakarta District Court.
“He will be questioned as a witness for suspect DAS [Doddy Aryanto Supeno],” KPK spokesperson Yuyuk Andriati said at the antigraft body’s headquarters in Jakarta on Friday.
Nurhadi has been questioned at least three times. The KPK also has questioned Nurhadi’s wife, Tin Zuraida, regarding the same case. The antigraft body has analyzed the couple’s finances, which has aroused suspicion.
Shortly after arresting Central Jakarta District Court clerk Edy Nasution for allegedly receiving a bribe from Doddy, an executive of a private company, the KPK continued its investigation into Nurhadi, searching his house on Jl. Hang Lekir, Kebayoran, South Jakarta.
From the search, the investigators confiscated a number of documents and sums of money worth Rp 1.7 billion ( US$127,771 ) in several foreign denominations.
The KPK has summoned several of Nurhadi’s close aides but some of them were not cooperative and have even disappeared. (ebf)
