Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission seized about 250 million rupiah from the Nias branch of Nahdlatul Ulama. The money was taken from the PCNU leadership in Nias Regency, according to Republika.co.id. Investigators suspect that the funds were connected to cash-based political practices. The alleged activity is linked to the congress, or muktamar, of Nahdlatul Ulama. The report did not establish that the branch leadership had committed a crime. It described the seizure as part of an investigation into possible political cash payments. The case centers attention on how party congress funding and political payments are handled within the NU.
