The 'HMK' Code

Investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) approached three shoppers at a cosmetics counter at the Grand Indonesia Mall in Central Jakarta. The three were Patrialis Akbar and two women, who were shopping on Wednesday night, last week.

After introducing themselves, the most senior investigator explained that Patrialis was suspected of receiving bribe money in connection with a judicial review of the legislation on livestock and animal health at the Constitutional Court. The investigators then asked Patrialis, a Constitutional Court judge, to go with them to the KPK office in South Jakarta.
