JAKARTA: Indonesian prosecutors charged a former parliament speaker on Wednesday in connection with a $170m graft scandal after he held up proceedings for hours at the opening of his trial, saying he was ill. Setya Novanto has been brought to trial by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which suspects extensive pilfering of public funds linked to a national identity card programme. Novanto, who resigned as speaker of parliament this week, has denied wrongdoing. He had managed to cling to power through several previous corruption cases.
