In Indonesia, police go toe-to-toe with anticorruption agency

A power struggle between Indonesia's police force and an independent anticorruption agency is roiling President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, just two weeks after he began his second five-year term.

The row has raised questions over Indonesia's commitment to fighting chronic corruption and provoked a public outcry at the hardball tactics of the police, which is going toe-to-toe with the anticorruption agency.

Protesters in Jakarta rallied for the second day Tuesday over the arrest last week of two senior officials of the elite agency, known as the KPK, which has successfully prosecuted government officials and politicians for graft. The two men are accused by police of abusing their power during an investigation into a collapsed bank, and both deny the accusations. They were released Tuesday but still face charges.
