The brother of Youth and Sports Affairs Minister Andi Mallarangeng may have used bribe money to buy a red Ferrari, a Jakarta court heard on Wednesday.

Lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea, representing Muhammad Nazaruddin at the former Democratic Party treasurer’s trial in the Jakarta Anti-Corruption Court, raised the suspicion before Andi took to the witness stand.

Hotman said that he and Andi’s younger brother Zulkarnain Mallarangeng, also known as Choel, were competing to buy a Rp 6 billion ($666,000) Ferrari at a showroom in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta.

“I lost to him because he brought Rp 6 billion in cash to the showroom to buy the car. It should have been mine,” Hotman told the hearing before grilling the minister.

He said he had to wait for two months before being able to buy the same model of car from the showroom.

Hotman said that Choel’s purchase of the car took place just after he allegedly received Rp 10 billion in bribes from Mindo Rosalina Manulang, a former member of Nazaruddin’s staff, in 2010.

Testifying at the trial last month, Rosalina, said her former employer gave a total of Rp 20 billion to several officials to rig the awarding of contracts to build the Southeast Asian Games athletes’ village in Palembang and the Hambalang Stadium in Bogor to construction firm Duta Graha Indah.

Part of the money, she alleged, was used by Andi during his campaign to be elected Democratic Party chairman in May 2010, a ballot he lost to Anas Urbaningrum.

Rosalina told the court that Nazaruddin had ordered her to ask for the return of Rp 10 billion from the Sports and Youth Affairs Ministry after the Bogor stadium contract was awarded to a rival of DGI.

She said that she asked former ministry secretary Wafid Muharram, convicted in the case along with her, to return the funds.

“Wafid told me that the money had been used for the administrative process at the National Land Agency [BPN] for the Hambalang project,” she said, alleging that “the money was given to Andi’s brother, Choel Mallarangeng.”

Choel has previously denied the allegations and also questioned why Nazaruddin, a prominent supporter of Anas’s chairmanship candidacy, would also contribute funds to Anas’s rival, Andi.

Asked by Hotman whether he knew about the car, Andi said he never looked into Choel’s garage.

“He is a successful businessman, and he has several cars. Although I often come to his house, I never check his garage,” he said.

Andi also said that Choel had never taken the money.

“I don’t believe my brother received the money, and he told me he had rejected it,” he said.
