Bali Nine bribery allegations completed: Judicial commission

Indonesian authorities say they have completed their probe into Bali Nine bribery claims, despite conducting no interviews with witnesses.

The country's judicial commission announced it had finished investigations into allegations involving the judges who sentenced Bali Nine pair Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran to death but did not disclose what its findings were, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.

The statement did however urge the Supreme Court to look further into the claims by former Bali Nine lawyer Muhammad Rifan.

Speaking to reporters outside Kerobokan prison on February 7, Mr Rifan revealed that there had been irregularities in the case.

"It's something that implicates us, it could discredit me. But for them I will take it for them," he was quoted as saying at the time.

On Monday he publicly expanded on the comments, alleging judges had asked for 1 billion rupiah (A$130,000) for a sentence of less than 20 years.

He said the deal initially fell through under pressure from senior legal and government members, only to have the judges then ask for an even greater sum.

Bribery and government interference are both prohibited under Indonesian law.

Mr Rifan said he was yet to be interviewed by the judiciary commission and called for his former clients' executions to be halted until a thorough probe was complete.
