A former General Elections Commission (KPU) commissioner Andi Nurpati arrived at the National Police Headquarters on Monday for questioning in relation to an alleged document forgery linked to the 2009 general election.

"I bring documents related to my field during my tenure as commissioner, and relating to the first KPU recapitulation result, its revisions, election result dispute [PHPU] documents and other documents," Andi said.

Andi arrived at the police headquarters at around 10:30 a.m. and was accompanied by her lawyer.

She said she was ready to be confronted with former Constitutional Court judge Arsyad Sanusi, who was also being questioned over an alleged election document forgery.

"I am ready, if the questioning mechanism requires me to do so, not only with Arsyad, but also other related people," she said.

Andi is alleged to have been involved in the falsification of a document issued by the Constitutional Court to settle a dispute between election candidates from the People's Conscience Party (Hanura) and the Greater Indonesian Movement Party (Gerindra), over a House of Representatives seat for South Sulawesi electoral district I.

Hengky at KPK: Alleged recipient of the Bank Indonesia (BI) traveler's check bribe, Hengky Baramuli, arrives at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).A suspect in the alleged traveler's check bribery case, Hengky Beramuli, arrived at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for questioning on Friday, after having missed a similar questioning session scheduled for last week.

“Yes, I have suffered from heart problem. But, I do respect the law, so I’m here for the questioning,” Hengky told reporters before the questioning.

“I never tried to flee or hide from KPK,” he said.

Hengky was a legislator from the Golkar Party from 2004-2009. He and 24 other legislators allegedly accepted bribes given to them in the form of traveler's checks worth a total of Rp 24 billion (US$2.66 million).

The bribes were allegedly paid in exchange for the legislators’ support for Miranda S. Goeltom, a candidate in the election of the Bank Indonesia senior deputy governor, in 2004.

He added that he was at his house all the time. “I am confused why the KPK had failed to locate me at my house because I was there taking a rest from my ailment,” he said.

KPK is likely to detain Hengky right after the questioning, just like it did with the other 23 suspects.
