Over six years ago, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) uncovered a case of bribery given for the former Regent of Bogor Rachmat Yasin. Rahmat and several other people were found guilty. Rahmat finished his jail term last year. Less than two months after that, the KPK announced that it had begun a new investigation as a result of the development of its previous investigation and had named Rachmat a suspect in two different cases. Last week, the KPK finally moved to detain Rachmat, and this usually means that the suspect would be prosecuted soon. What happened to Rachmat is not unusual. It reminds us of several other high profile cases on which the suspects faced a similar situation with Rachmat.
