ormer youth and sports minister Andi Mallarangeng is scheduled to face court on Monday over allegations of receiving bribes in the Hambalang Sports Center project scandal.
"Andi Mallarangeng will face court at 2 p.m.," Andi's lawyer Luhut Pangaribuan said in Jakarta on Sunday as quoted by Antara news agency.
Andi, was detained in October last year after being named a suspect 12 months earlier for allegedly accepting bribes in the Hambalang graft case.
According to Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) calculations, the Hambalang graft case caused Rp 463.66 billion (US$38.9 million) of state losses.
The Hambalang sports facility is located in Bogor regency and was designed to be an international-standard sports-training facility. The project was originally mooted by Andi's predecessor, Adhyaksa Dault with an initial budget of around Rp 300 billion.
However, when the construction project began under Andi's leadership, the budget ballooned to Rp 2.5 trillion.
Apart from Andi, the KPK has also named former Democratic Party chief Anas Urbaningrum and ministry official Deddy Kusdina and PT Adhi Karya official Teuku Bagus Mukhamad Noor as suspects.
