"....linked to the tubby taxman."

LOL. Surprised to see a newspaper use such a description.

High-profile prosecutor Cirus Sinaga was officially taken into custody for alleged corruption on Saturday, with police admitting the investigation had been a “slow” one.  

Gen. Mathius Salempang, National Police deputy chief detective, said Curus would be behind bars on Saturday night after 24 hours of questioning.  

The detention period is for a minimum of 20 days, which can be extended to 120 days, as police prepare their case against the prosecutor.  

Mathius said Cirus had not only been charged with falsifying documents used to prosecute the infamous Gayus Tambunan, but also taking bribes from the rogue tax official.  

The charges relate to allegations Cirus received payment from Gayus in exchange for helping secure his controversial acquittal for corruption in his first trial in Tangerang.

Gayus has since been jailed, as has the judge who handled the initial trial, as well as two policeman and a lawyer linked to the tubby taxman.
