A lawmaker on the House of Representatives Commission III who demanded the Attorney General's Office immediately resolve his case on Wednesday got his wish – sort of.

Dimyati Natakusumah, a member of the United Development Party (PPP), was criticized on Monday when he used a commission hearing with the AGO to ask it to settle his case, in which he allegedly used his position as Pandeglang district head in Banten to bribe councilors to approve a debt of Rp 200 billion ($21.4 million), which he later defaulted on.

"I want prosecutors to decide my case without delay," he told Attorney General Hendarman Supandji. On Wednesday, Dimyati was arrested and transferred to Serang Prison.

Detik.com quoted one of Dimyati's lawyers, as saying the arrest seemed "forced" because his client had been "very cooperative."
