Indonesia panel finds top judge guilty of ethical violations

A judicial ethics panel in Indonesia found the Constitutional Court's chief justice guilty on Tuesday of ethical violations over a ruling that paved the way for President Joko Widodo's son to run for the vice presidency.

The panel ordered Anwar Usman, who is the president's brother-in-law, to quit as the court's top judge. He will continue to serve as one of the court's nine judges but must recuse himself from any election-related cases in future if he has potential conflict of interest, the panel ruled.
