Leaders of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s Democratic Party, known for its anti-corruption slogan in the last elections, did not take bribery-linked Muhammad Nazaruddin home after meeting with the troubled lawmaker in Singapore.

Nazaruddin, who has been hit by numerous crime allegations, flew to Singapore on May 23, a day before the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) issued a travel ban on him.

Nazaruddin was also released from his duties as party treasurer amid intensifying rumors of his involvement in a high-profile bribery scandal surrounding the construction of an athletes dormitory in Palembang, South Sumatra, a case currently under KPK investigation.
