"I got the information from Nazaruddin`s close friend. I myself doubt the information," Martin, who is member of the House of Representatives (DPR)`s Commission III on legal affairs, said during a public discussion over the polemics of Nazaruddin case here over the weekend.
The discussion was also attended by Febri Diansyah of the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), Mutriadi Muslim of the Financial Transaction Report Center (PPATK) and Sulfikar Amir of the Singapore Nanyang University.
Martin said that based on the information he received Nazaruddin was willing to go home but on condition that police would provide him with security and guarantee his safety.
"I doubt the information because at present the public has strong insistence on the arrest of Nazaruddin," he said.
ICW activist Febri Diansyah said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was now handling the Nazaruddin case.
Febri said that KPK, which is investigating the case of alleged corruption in the construction of a SEA Games athlete house in Palembang (South Sumatra) and has named Nazaruddin as one of its suspects, can use Nasaruddin`s explanations to enter into other cases which were still undisclosed.
He said that the KPK should have doubts in investigating the case.
Febri said that the role of police in the Nazaruddin case should be more on assisting the KPK only in speeding up the handling of the fomer PD treasurer case.
"If Nazruddin is arrested, no matter who made the arrest, Nazaruddin should be under the control of KPK which is under the control of the people," the ICW activist said.
He said that it should not happen that Nazaruddin, if he was already arrested, was put under the control of other sides, namely political party because it would be very risky.
