JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's anti-graft agency named a prominent provincial governor a suspect on Tuesday in the latest in a series of high-profile corruption cases that have eroded public trust in President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's ruling coalition.

Over half of Indonesia's 539 regional leaders are now under investigation for graft corruption, helping keep Southeast Asia's biggest economy near the top of the list of the world's most corrupt.
