JAKARTA • A prison convicted of bribery was arrested by the Indonesian Registry Agency for offering "special packages" involving renovations to prison cells and cell keys that allowed prisoners to remain in prison.
In return, the prison authorities of Sukamiskin Prison in Bandung reportedly asked the condemned to pay between 200 million rupees ($ 18,900) and 500 million rupees
M. Laode Muhammad Syarif, vice president of the Indonesian Commission for the Eradication of Corruption (KPK), said last Saturday that six people were arrested by the KPK, according to Tempo Online.
Among these people was the head of Sukamiskin Prison, Wahid Husein. Wahid, who accepted the job just four months ago, was arrested Saturday night at his Bandung home
The KPK has found cash for hundreds of millions of rupees. The money is supposed to be tied to the system, said Mr Laode Muhammad. A car was also confiscated.
During a KPK raid on the prison, the authorities found that several cells had been renovated. Some rooms had air conditioning, TVs and refrigerators.
According to the media, among the arrested prisoners was Fahmi Darmawansyah, the husband of the famous singer of the 1990s, Inneke Koesherawati. Fahmi, an entrepreneur, was jailed for two years and eight months in May last year for bribery.
