THE three Mallarangeng brothers—Andi, Rizal and Choel—rose alongside their political patron, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. They had access to the inner circle, enjoying unprecedented power and infl uence, until one of them got caught in the corruption trap. Oldest brother Andi was recently indicted for his role in the massive Hambalang project corruption case, prompting his resignation as Youth and Sports Minister. Suspected along in Andi’s case is youngest brother Choel. While middle brother Rizal acts as the family spokesman, Andi and Choel are banned from leaving the country.
