T

he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is tracking the wealth and assets of former Supreme Court secretary Nurhadi Abdurrahman as part of its pursuit to untangle rampant graft at the country’s top court.

Nurhadi and his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono, were named suspects for allegedly accepting nine checks and Rp 46 billion (US$3.2 million) in cash as bribes in connection with three Supreme Court cases between 2011 and 2016.

KPK commissioner Nawawi Pomolanggo told the Koran Tempo daily that the antigraft agency would continue to investigate Nurhadi's wealth and assets, as well as possible laundering efforts. 

“We will continue to [track his wealth] during the investigation,” Nawawi said on Monday.

In 2016, the KPK found Rp 1.7 billion while searching his home. The money is believed to be related to the handling of several cases at the court.

The KPK found difficulties in charging Nurhadi because he had allegedly destroyed a number of documents, and the National Police have yet to allow the KPK to question his four adjutants, who are members of the police.

One of the cases, however, forced him to leave his post as the court secretary. He later went missing and remained at large until his arrest at a hotel in South Jakarta early this month, along with his son-in-law.
