<h1>Dozens detained after violent clashes at anti-corruption protests over flood-control contract graft; investigations and possible criminal, asset forfeiture follow</h1> Dozens were arrested after a violent incident near the presidential palace during largely peaceful anti-corruption demonstrations; authorities detained 49 suspects accused of throwing rocks, bottles and improvised incendiaries, blocking roads, assaulting officers (about 70 injured), and causing vandalism and property damage. Police used tear gas and characterized the situation as contained. Separately, protests targeted alleged large-scale corruption in flood-control contracts, prompting the president to establish an independent commission, accept a senior cabinet resignation, and trigger criminal and administrative inquiries into contractors and officials for alleged kickbacks, procurement fraud, and graft; potential legal consequences include criminal charges, asset forfeiture and administrative sanctions.
