A judge with the initials IB was arrested while accepting a bribe from a lawyer in Cempaka Barat, Central Jakarta on Tuesday, said Corruption Eradication Commission spokesman Johan Budi.
“IB and AS were arrested around 11 a.m. The alleged bribery was related to a case which is being tried at Jakarta’s State Administrative Court,” said Johan.
“We confiscated a black briefcase and Rp 300 million cash in a brown envelope.”
He said the arrest was the result of a tip from the public.
Both IB and AS were questioned at the KPK’s office. Their status has not been determined.
