The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has finally detained Anggodo Widjojo, brother of fugitive businessman Anggoro Widjojo, after being named as suspect in a corruption case. Anggodo will be sent to Cipinang penitentiary in Jakarta. Anggodo is accused of his role in attempts to bribe KPK leaders and hinder its investigation into a graft case at the Forestry Ministry.
