The Corruption Eradication Commission said that free tickets for the 2010 Asian Football Federation Cup match were considered a form of gratuity and it was thus forbidden for public officials to accept any.
“We ask that officials receiving the tickets report to the KPK immediately,” KPK deputy Mochammad Jasin said Tuesday in Jakarta as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com newswire.
However, he said that the rule applied only to tickets and not invitations.
Officials, including President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and First Lady Ani Yudhoyono, have been spotted watching the matches at the Gelora Bung Karno sports stadium in Senayan.
The last match was on Sunday, when the Indonesian national team defeated the Philippines by 1-0. The next match, in which Indonesia will face Malaysia, is slated for Dec. 26 in Kuala Lumpur, with the second leg on Dec. 29 in Jakarta.
