The chief justice of Indonesia has been arrested for alleged bribery, officials said on Thursday.
Akil Mochtar was arrested by anti-corruption officials for allegedly accepting at least $250,000 in bribes.
Officials said the arrest, the latest in a series of high-profile cases involving public officials, was linked to a regional election.
Indonesia’s constitutional court handles electoral disputes.
Mochtar was elected for a five-year term to the constitutional court this year.
He was arrested from his home in Jakarta after a businessman and a lawmaker allegedly handed him over money, a spokesman for the Corruption Eradication Commission said.
Two other people have also been arrested in connection with the case. Last month, the anti-corruption court found a police general guilty of corruption and money laundering.
Djoko Susilo was sentenced to 10 years in prison and handed a fine.
