Graft convict Muhammad Nazaruddin has promised the Antigraft Commission (KPK) in writing that his wife Neneng Sri Wahyuni, a graft suspect in a separate case, will return to Indonesia provided she would not be detained.
“We are still sorting it out with the KPK,” said Junimart Girsang, a lawyer for both Neneng and Nazaruddin, when contacted on Tuesday, May 1, 2012. He said the letter was a sign indicating his client's willingness to cooperate. “To make it clear, what they want is Neneng's statement. Law should not be enforced by breaking the law.”
KPK confirmed receipt of Nazaruddin's letter requesting to keep Neneng under house arrest only upon her return to Indonesia. "The management is reviewing the letter,” said KPK spokesperson Johan Budi S.P., at his office this evening. He said his institution had not reached a conclusion because all five leaders need to agree on it.
Neneng has been a fugitive since August 20, 2011, before she officially became a suspect in the power generator graft case involving Ministry of Labor and Transmigration. She and Nazaruddin are alleged to have pocketed Rp. 2.2 billion from that project alone. KPK said it has information that Neneng is in Malaysia, but has no authority to apprehend her.
