Indonesian top judge held for bribery faces drugs claim

A top Indonesian judge, arrested this week for allegedly accepting bribes worth more than $300,000, could face drugs charges after investigators found illicit substances in his office, an official said.

The detention of constitutional court chief judge Akil Mochtar on Wednesday followed the arrest of the country's top energy regulator in August and a string of corruption cases linked to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's ruling Democratic Party.
