The Corruption Eradication Commission said on Thursday that it would use new information gathered from the trial of graft suspect Muhammad Nazaruddin to go after other possible suspects in the case.

“The information gathered from the court has been discussed by leaders [of the commission],” said Abraham Samad, the chairman of the antigraft body known as the KPK.

A key trial witness on Wednesday said that Rp 30 billion ($3.4 million) and $5 million were provided illicitly to the ruling Democratic Party.

Yulianis, a former vice director of Nazaruddin’s Permai Group, said the money helped fund the party’s congress in 2010, where Anas Urbaningrum was elected Democratic chairman.

Abraham said the KPK had received a transcript of Wednesday’s trial session and planned to use it as part of its investigation.

Nazaruddin, a former Democratic Party treasurer, is accused of receiving Rp 4.3 billion in kickbacks in relation to the construction of the athletes’ village for last year’s Southeast Asian Games.

The KPK earlier said it would soon name more suspects, leading to speculation that the antigraft body might be referring to Anas.

As details about the multifaceted bribery scandal continue to emerge, the Democrats are making contingency plans.

“We have to anticipate all possibilities, including Anas being named a suspect, let alone being found guilty in court,” Hayono Isman, a member of the party’s advisory council, said on Wednesday. He declined to elaborate or say if Anas would be replaced.

People’s Conscience Party (Hanura) politician Akbar Faisal said he had received information that the KPK was split on whether to name a new suspect.

Akbar said three KPK commissioners — Abraham, Zulkarnain and Adnan Pandu Praja — wanted a new suspect to be named, but two other commissioners, Busyro Muqoddas and Bambang Widjojanto, were holding out against the move.

“I received the information from inside the KPK,” he said.

Abraham, however, dismissed the claim, saying that “KPK leaders are like brothers, we are working together. That information is not true.”

United Development Party (PPP) politician Ahmad Yani said the KPK should react quickly to the latest revelations.

“The case is not that complicated, because the facts have already been presented in a court of law based on a solid legal process. The KPK should follow this up,” he said.

“The old KPK chairman, Busyro, said there would soon be another suspect and that the suspect had been summoned by the KPK. I’ve heard that [from Busyro] many times before.”

On Wednesday, Yulianis also said that Nazaruddin had channeled a total of $1.1 million to lawmakers in connection with the athletes’ project in April 2010.

Wayan Koster, a member of the House of Representatives Budget Committee from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), accepted a Rp 3 billion “fee,” while another Rp 2 billion went to Angelina Sondakh, another House Budget Committee member from the Democratic Party, Yulianis told the court.

She also testified that Anas had shares in Permai Group and received a monthly payment of Rp 20 million.

On Tuesday, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono asked top Democrats to come to his home in Cikeas, West Java. Democratic lawmaker Max Sopacua said the discussion centered on the possibility of replacing Anas.

Yudhoyono also met with Abraham at the State Palace on Wednesday, but the KPK chief denied speculation that he was seeking the president’s permission to arrest Anas.

“We have no business with the palace. We are an independent body and [for the KPK] to name new suspects it has to be based on two pieces of solid evidence,” Abraham said.

“Anas and Angie and the others, we are still investigating.”

Accusatory name-dropping has been a recurring feature of the ongoing court drama, with officials from several parties and various government posts faced with allegations from Nazaruddin or other trial witnesses.
