A chartered plane carrying captured graft fugitive Muhammad Nazaruddin landed at Halim Perdanakusuma airport in East Jakarta on Saturday evening.
The plane touched down at 7:50 p.m. amid a heavy security presence at the airport. Several officers entered the plane and a few minutes later, officers wearing black masks, bullet proof vests and backpacks disembarked.
Nazaruddin, who was cuffed to an officer, disembarked and entered a grey car.
National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. I Ketut Untung Yoga Ana said Nazaruddin was taken to the National Police Mobile Brigade detention center in Kelapa Dua, West Java.
He said Nazaruddin was accompanied on the flight by his wife and two other people – Indonesian national Rahmat Nasir and Singaporean Eng Kian Lim – but not his lawyer OC Kaligis.
"[ Kaligis] is flying in on a commercial flight," Yoga said.
He said the chartered flight carrying Nazaruddin made stopovers in Nairobi and the Maldives.
Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) spokesman Johan Budi said Saturday morning that the flight would land at 2 p.m. Later, KPK chairman Busyro Muqqodas said it would arrive in the evening.
Johan said technical issues such as refueling during transit could cause delays. He added that Nazaruddin would be brought to the KPK building after undergoing a medical examination at the Kelapa Dua Mobile Brigade detention center in Depok, West Java.
Security at KPK headquarters in South Jakarta has been tightened. Police Mobile Brigade officers armed with rifles and wearing bulletproof vests are posted around the site. Riot police are also stationed inside the building compound.
Nazaruddin was named a suspect by the KPK in a graft case linked to a Southeast Asian (SEA) Games construction project.
