Rifai, lawyer of convict Mindo Rosalina Manulang who is incriminated in
the SEA Games athletes’ village bribery scandal, said that his client
will file a report to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on
ministers who asked for an 8-percent cut. “The report preparation will
be completed next week. It will include indications of request for
8-percent commission from some ministers,” said Rifai on Monday at the
Justice and Human Rights Ministry building.
However, Rifai, who was appointed by Rosalina as her lawyer on Feb. 9, does not want to reveal just yet the name of the minister that his client accused of asking for commission. According to the lawyer, his client has only revealed a little about the identity of one minister. “For the time being, it’s only one minister. There are plenty of stories to tell after that.”
Rifai revealed on Sunday that a minister who is also a political party elite had asked Rosalina for a cut. The commission was to be given as a ‘fee’ for securing two ministerial projects for the Permai Group, a company owned by Muhammad Nazaruddin. The projects worth Rp80 billion and Rp100 billion.
