| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Nazaruddin's downfall came last May when local newspapers reported he received bribes totalling 25 billion rupiahs ($2.8 million) for a construction contract to build athletes' housing at the Jakarta 2011 Southeast Asian Games. In late September, two members of the project consortium were convicted of involvement in the bribery scandal and were sentenced to only two and two-and-a-half years in prison and a fine of Rp 200 million ($22,300). "If that's all they get, there won't be any deterrent effect," says Indonesia Corruption Watch chairman Danang Widoyoko. |
