Syahrul Yasin Limpo resigned his position as agriculture minister last week to focus on the impending legal proceedings against him. He was formally named as a suspect on Wednesday by the Corruption Eradication Commission, known as the KPK. TV footage shows Limpo arriving at the commission’s office in handcuffs and wearing a black leather jacket, black hat and a mask. He did not respond to journalists’ questions.
