Indonesia anti-graft body arrests Supreme Court judge over bribery scandal

Indonesia's anti-corruption body on Friday arrested a Supreme Court judge for his alleged involvement in a bribery scandal, one of the most high-profile magistrates to face investigation for graft.

The Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) deputy chief told a news conference that judge Sudrajad Dimyati had been detained after he voluntarily reported to the agency earlier in the day.

The KPK has detained six other suspects it believes were involved earlier this year in facilitating 2.2 billion rupiah ($146,520) in bribes to secure a favourable ruling in an appeal by a lending cooperative facing insolvency.
