Indonesia's anti-graft commission on Friday arrested a former sports minister accused of stealing public money, as students across the country protested a new law that critics say will cripple the commission.
Youth and Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi faces graft charges related to a National Sports Committee grant which he allegedly used for himself. He faces up to 20 years' imprisonment if found guilty.
Nahrawi resigned last week after the Corruption Eradication Commission announced that he was suspected of personally using the 26.5 billion rupiah (USD 1.8 million) grant.
"I am ready to undergo my destiny," Nahrawi told reporters before entering a car to be taken to a holding cell after being questioned by investigators.
"Please pray for me in facing this destiny."
