Indonesian authorities have arrested Hery Susanto, the country's newly appointed chief ombudsman, just six days after he was inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto on 10 April. Prosecutors allege Susanto accepted a bribe of 1.5 billion rupiah (roughly US$87,000) from a nickel company, identified only by the initials TSHI, in exchange for intervening to reduce a fine the Forestry Ministry had recommended the firm pay. The case raises serious concerns about integrity within Indonesia's ombudsman office (the national body tasked with overseeing public services and combating maladministration), with Susanto facing a maximum three-year prison sentence under Indonesia's criminal code.
