Indonesia?s Anti-Corruption Chief Accused of Orchestrating Murder

By bpj1966

A ninth suspect has been charged over the murder of a Director of Indonesian pharmaceutical company Putra Rajawali Banjaran, turning a brighter spotlight on what is already a very high-profile case in Indonesia. The ninth suspect was no less than Indonesia?s head of anti-corruption, Antasari Azhar.

Antasari, Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commision of Indonesia (KPK), was alleged to have orchestrated the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen because Nasrudin was allegedly intimately involved with a female golf caddy that Antasari was attracted to, according to Indonesian news reports. Antasari denies involvement in the murder.
