Central Lampung Regent Arrested by Indonesia’s Anti-Graft Agency
Jakarta. Central Lampung Regent Ardito Wijaya was detained by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and arrived in Jakarta on Wednesday night for questioning in a bribery investigation.
Ardito entered the KPK building at around 9:15 p.m., wearing a cap and pulling a small suitcase, escorted by officers. He appeared calm and briefly spoke to reporters.
He said he was at home during the arrest and did not try to run.
The KPK has not yet provided full details of the case, saying information will only be disclosed after investigators finish questioning the regent.
