His case has drawn public attention after Nazaruddin accused some party elite members of being also involved in his case.
Nazaruddin is now being held at the Mobile Brigade Headquarters detention center.
After being questioned by the Corrutpion Eradication Commission (KPK) recently Nazaruddin confessed he was guilty and expressed readiness to be sentenced for years in exchange for his wife and children`s safety.
