The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Madiun Mayor Bambang Irianto a suspect in three graft cases.
“There are three corruption cases implicating Bambang Irianto,” said KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah as quoted by Antara news agency on Saturday.
Febri said Bambang was allegedly involved in a corruption case revolving around the construction of a market in the city and a separate bribery case. The KPK has also charged him with money laundering.
The antigraft body has detained Bambang after he allegedly embezzled money in the market construction project.
The KPK has charged Bambang with corruption for his alleged involvement in a graft case centering on an Rp 76 billion (US$5.6 million) project to build the Kota Madiun Market in Madiun, East Java. The project was carried out during his first term as mayor between 2009 and 2014. (wit)
