Choel has been questioned by the anti graft body as witness in the case with his brother former sports and youth affairs minister Andi Mallarangeng as a suspect.
The money which was received by Choel from a senior official of the sport and youth affairs ministry Deddy Kusdinar, who has also been declared as suspect in the case, was confiscated by KPK on Feb 25, spokesman of the anti graft body Johan Budi said here on Monday.
Choel said he received the money from Dedy on the occasion of Choel's birthday party on 28 August 2010. Choel also admitted being given Rp2 billion by a commissioner of PT Global Daya Manunggal Herman Prananto in May 2010.
"It is the rights of the investigators as the money is connected with the process of investigations," Choel said later in the day. He denied that the money had gone to his brother Andi Mallarangeng. (IGT)
