Kaesang Pangarep, the youngest son of Indonesian President Joko Widodo, appeared before the anti-corruption agency on Tuesday to clarify his use of a private jet, strongly denying allegations of misconduct.
Kaesang stressed that he voluntarily met with investigators, explaining that he had 'hitchhiked' on a friend's plane rather than using his own resources.
The controversy comes amid national protests and political tension, as parliament retracted a proposed law enabling Kaesang to run in regional elections. The agency will determine within a week if any regulations were violated.
