JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is ready to prosecute Hasto Kristiyanto for bribery and obstruction of justice this week, potentially derailing the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician’s attempt to render the investigation void through pretrial motions.

KPK spokesperson Tessa Mahardika told The Jakarta Post on Sunday (March 9) that its prosecutors submitted the case dossier to the Jakarta Corruption Court on Friday of last week, just one day after KPK investigators completed their probe into Hasto, the PDI-P secretary-general.
