The Court Secretary's Money Trail

Nurhadi's behavior upset 15 investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who were searching his home at Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta two weeks ago. After three men from the Police Mobile Brigade (Brimob) guarding the house failed to prevent investigators from entering the home, the Supreme Court secretary, along with his wife and daughter, were kept in a room while the search proceeded.

Two investigators took turns knocking on the door to a room on the second floor. However, Nurhadi did not respond. From inside the room, the sound of repeated toilet flushing could be heard. After refusing to open the door for an hour, investigators crashed open the door to find Nurhadi's wife, Tin Zuraida, exited, half-running and saying she needed some underwear. Her hands covered her chest as if hiding something. "Her behavior was unusual," said one source, who took part in the search.
