Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician Adang Daradjatun said he had officially explained the whereabouts of his wife, Nunun Nurbaeti, to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Indonesian embassy in Singapore.

"I have given official explanations and sent a letter to the embassy. You can ask the Indonesian embassy in Singapore. She is there (in Singapore)," Adang said on the sidelines of a consultation meeting between the House of Representatives (DPR) Commission III on legal affairs and the Constitutional Court (MK) here on Monday.

Asked about the possibility that Nunun would be forcefully picked up, Adang said, the law enforcing agencies were free to do so.

"Who is going to pick her up and bring her back, just do it. Her family would not mind. It is a legal process," he said.

Adang who is also a former deputy to the national police chief said this wife was not in good health. But, he said, she was being accompanied by a relative.

"She is sick. So there had to be a relative who was willing to accompany her," he said.

He said that although he was leaving the case to the legal process, yet he questioned the plan of the court to summon her.

"When four convicts (Endin Aj Soehihara, Dudy Makmun Murod, Hamka Yamdu and Udju Djauhari) where grilled in court, Nunun was not summoned because there was no evidence of her involvement. That means she can no longer be prosecuted," he said.

Ii was previously reported the KPK has finally named Nunun a suspect in the bribery case connected to the election of Miranda Goeltom as senior deputy governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) in 2004.

Nunun Nurbaeti is a commissioner of PT Wahana Esa Sejati who was alleged to have given bribes in the form of traveler`s cheques to a number of legislators in the 1999-2004 period.
