An official of Indonesia's top corruption-fighting body was arrested Friday, days after he said a national police chief hopeful was a graft suspect, sparking public demands for the country's president to defend the body.
Bambang Widjojanto, 55, a deputy head of the Corruption Eradication Commission was arrested near the capital, Jakarta, for alleged false testimony when he was dealing with a regional election dispute as a lawyer before a court in 2010, said National Police spokesman Maj. Gen. Ronny Franky Sompie.
