On 23 September 2008, Aulia Pohan, former Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia, admitted he approved illegal payments of 100 billion Indonesian Rupiahs to lawmakers and lawyers.
Aulia Pohan is a relative of Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Former Bank governor Burhanuddin Abdullah, along with legal affairs director Oey Hoey Tiong and the former head of its communications bureau, Rusli Simanjuntak, are in prison awaiting trial in connection to the case that dates back to 2003.
Aulia, father-in-law of President Yudhoyono’s youngest son, is the last senior former Bank official still not indicted as a suspect.

Indonesia's anti-corruption heroes
Indonesia has a Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)
In 2008, the KPK has overseen the arrests on corruption charges of five members of parliament, a former national police chief and ambassador to Malaysia, a senior government prosecutor, and three central bank officials, including the governor.

Megawati wants to be President of Indonesia.
What happened when Megawati was president once before:
"On 2 September 2003, 189 houses in Sunter Jaya in Tanjung Priok of North Jakarta were demolished by the security officers of North Jakarta local government.
"The demolition affected 550 urban poor people, who had paid millions of Rupiah of their hard-earned money in 1998 to buy the land for their permanent housing.
"The eviction was performed in spite of an ongoing court case over the land ownership between businessman Anton Tjahya Wikarta and the residents." (INDONESIA: Mass-eviction of urban poor continuing in Jakarta)
