JAKARTA: Attorney General Abdul Rachman Saleh asked President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Tuesday for a permission to question
four House of Representatives legislators for their alleged
involvement in past graft cases.

"They are implicated in corruption cases dating back to when
they were members of provincial legislatures," the Attorney
General said on Tuesday after a meeting with the President.

He added that his office was prepared for the trial of former
lawmaker Nurdin Halid, who is implicated in two corruption cases.

"I have reported the developments of these cases to the
President. He (Nurdin) will be brought to trial as soon as
possible," Abdul Rahman said.-- JP
