Jakarta – Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) issued a report Tuesday alleging that suspended Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chairman Antasari Azhar committed a series of ethical violations while at the head of the graft watchdog.

The ICW report was filed by staff at the KPK, including the current supervisor and advisor.

ICW deputy coordinator, Emerson Yuntho, told a press conference that Antasari violated 17 articles within the code of ethics when he was active chairman of the KPK.

Emerson, accompanied by ICW legal researchers Febridiansyah and Ilian Deta Artasari, met with KPK advisor Abdullah Hehamahua and KPK deputy supervisor Handoyo Sudrajat before the press conference.

The violations included an arranged meeting with Anggoro Widjaya in Singapore where money illegally changed hands.

Antasari also paid Rp 2 million to Nasruddin Zulkarnaen for providing information to the KPK about corruption within the business community and gave a false testimony when he claimed to not know Rani Juliani.

He also paid KPK deputy chairman M. Jasin US$10,000 (Rp 100 million) while he was in hospital.
