JAKARTA - Over one million people from across the globe, but mainly from Indonesia, have joined a group on the social networking website Facebook to show their support of the two deputies of the Corruption Eradication Commission KPK that were arrested by the police last week. Both are suspected of being involved in a bribery and extortion scandal that has rocked Indonesia.
The group named "Gerakan 1.000.000 Facebookers Dukung Chandra Hamzah & Bibit Samad Riyanto" (1,000,000 Facebookers Movement in support of Chandra Hamzah & Bibit Samad Riyanto) had just over 1,014,000 members on Saturday afternoon. The group was only created at October 29 after the two were arrested by the Indonesian police.
A fact-finding team set up by the Indonesian government, under direct order of president Yudhoyono, has to find out about the alleged plot which is said to be constructed by businessman Anggodo Widjojo. He is a brother of Anggoro Widjojo which is a suspect of graft in another case. High ranking officials at the Attorney General's Office and the national police are also suspected to be involved.
