After having been repeatedly named in court for asking for and receiving bribes, Democratic Party lawmaker Angelina Sondakh was named a corruption suspect on Friday. 

Abraham Samad, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chairman, said there was enough evidence to name Angelina, a member of the Budget Committee at the House of Representatives, a suspect. 

“We are declaring her a suspect based on two strong pieces of evidence,” Abraham said at a news conference. 

Angelina is expected to be charged under at least three articles of the 1999 Law on Corruption Eradication, Abraham said. Each of the charges, he said, carries up to 20 years in jail and up to Rp 350 million ($39,000) in fines. 

“A.S. is suspected of having received promises of monetary gratification,” he said. 

Angelina has been named by another graft suspect, Muhammad Nazaruddin, as having asked for money in relation to the construction of the athletes’ village for last year’s Southeast Asian Games in Palembang. 

Another key witness, Mindo Rosalina Manulang, who used to work in one of Nazaruddin’s many companies, had testified in court that Angelina requested that money be given to members of the House Budget Committee. 

Rosalina said Angelina had accepted a Rp 2 billion “fee” linked to the project. 

Nazaruddin, a former Democratic Party treasurer, is accused of receiving Rp 4.3 billion in kickbacks in connection with the athletes’ village project. 

Abraham said everyone involved in the suspected corruption linked to the athletes’ village project would be named as suspects. 

“God willing, there will be more suspects announced in the future,” he said. 

A number of other lawmakers and politicians have seen their names come up in connection with the case. These include I Wayan Koster, a House Budget Committee member from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Democratic Party chairman Anas Urbaningrum, Youth and Sports Affairs Minister Andi Mallarangeng and House Budget Committee deputy chairman Mirwan Amir, who is also from the Democratic Party. 

Abraham said Angelina would not be immediately detained. 

Jafar Hafsah, the head of the Democratic Party faction at the House, said the party would offer legal assistance to Angelina if she needed it. 

Andi Nurpati, a Democratic spokeswoman, said Angelina’s status at the House and in the party would have to be decided on following a recommendation from the party’s Honor Council. She added that said so far, there had been no move to take her case to the council. 

Denny Indrayana, the deputy human rights minister, said that effective as of Friday, the immigration office had placed travel bans against both Angelina and Koster in response to a request from the KPK. 

Immigration spokesman Herawan Sukoaji said Angelina was still in the country and that her six-month travel ban could be extended by another six months if necessary. 

Koster reiterated his innocence and challenged the KPK to produce any evidence of wrongdoing on his part. He added that he was prepared to be named a suspect by the antigraft commission. 

“I will honor the process,” he said. “I will not burden my party. I will face it alone.”
