JAKARTA - Banten governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah was detained at around 4:50 p.m. on Friday afternoon, after more than six hours of questioning at the KPK headquarters in South Jakarta.
She arrived for questioning at 10:00 a.m. During her questioning, police prepared to quell potential unrest as at least 40 buses of supporters from Banten began to arrive, among whom were martial artists believed by some to possess mystical powers.
She has been detained in connection to a Lebak election dispute. She has been charged with allegedly conspiring to skim money off government contracts for medical equipment and with using her considerable influence and means to attempt to rig the verdict of a Constitutional Court hearing on a disputed election in Lebak district.
The governor’s brother, Tubagus Chaeri Wardana, was arrested alongside disgraced Constitutional Court chief justice Akil Mochtar in an October sting. Tubagus, popularly known as Wawan, also faces charges stemming from the corruption of medical equipment contracts.
She was escorted from the KPK building at 4:50 p.m. She will be detained at the Pondok Bambu penitentiary for 20 days while the KPK gathers further evidence.
