TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:Bribery defendant Muhammad Nazaruddin, implicated in the SEA Games athletes village project scandal, has once again pointed to Democrat Party chairman Anas Urbaningrums role in the Hambalang Stadium project of Bogor. Anas has been accused as the initiator of the Rp1.2-trillion project. Hambalang was especially picked by Anas, said Nazar during trial at the Anti-Graft Court (Tipikor) in Jakarta on Wednesday.Nazaruddin said the Hambalang project was initially planned to be worked on by contractor Duta Graha Indah, but, the project was then diverted to Adhi Karya. The sports complex project has allegedly served as the source of Rp100 billion funds used to secure Anas chairmanship during the Democrat Party Congress in Bandung.Nazaruddin added that, as faction chairman, Anas ordered some faction members to meet Sports Minister Andi Alifian Mallarangeng. The meeting took place in January 2010. Those who attended the meeting were legislators Mahyuddin and Angelina Sondakh. In addition, Sports Minister Secretary Wafid Muharam was also present. The meeting was held to ensure smooth communication between the Sports Ministry and the Sports Commission with regard to Anas project, said Nazaruddin, who was the former treasurer of the Democrat Party.ISMA SAVITRI | RUSMAN P | SYAILENDRA | IRA GUSLINA | PRIHANDOKO | WANTO
