    INDONESIA'S anti-graft agency on Tuesday summoned Lippo Group deputy chairman James Riady as a witness in a bribery probe involving a US$21 billion construction project, as it cracks down on widespread bribery in South-east Asia's biggest economy.

    The summons of one of the country's most powerful executives follows the arrests this month of nine people in connection with the investigation.
