JAKARTA. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has begun questioning for a third time businesswoman Nunun Nurbaeti, a suspect and a key witness in the high-profile central bank vote-buying case which has seen at least 31 politicians go to jail. Through today’s questioning session, KPK is expected to name a new suspect as, just recently, KPK chairman Abraham Samad claimed to have targeted a possible new suspect in the case which has been ongoing since former Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) lawmaker Agus Condro Prayitno first disclosed details of the scandal to KPK investigators in 2008. As many as 480 traveler’s checks, worth Rp 24 billion, were allegedly distributed by Nunun, who acted as a go-between in the case between the former lawmakers who sat on the House of Representatives’ finance commission at the time of the bribery and the bribe payer whose identity remains unknown.
