Nazaruddin’s arrest the dawn of corruption eradication: Anas

Democratic Party chairman Anas Urbaningrum says that graft suspect Muhammad Nazarrudin’s arrest is just the beginning of corruption eradication in the country.

“This is an important beginning for a just and transparent legal process,” Anas said on Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.

Anas said the Democratic Party would not interfere with the law in regards to a bribery case centering on the construction of the 2011 SEA Games athletes’ dormitory, in which Nazaruddin has been named a suspect.

However, Nazaruddin has alleged that Anas and other senior members of the party were also involved in the case.

Former party treasurer Nazaruddin was arrested in Cartagena, Colombia, on Sunday, after more than two months on the run from Indonesian authorities.
