Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati Allegedly Received IDR 800 Million For KSP Intidana To Go Bankrupt

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said Supreme Court Justice (MA) Sudrajad Dimyati was suspected of accepting bribes to win a civil lawsuit at the Semarang District Court. The application is related to the activities of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative.

"The lawsuit was filed at the Semarang District Court filed by HT (private, Heryanto Tanaka) and IDKS (private, Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto) represented by their legal representatives, namely YP (Yosep Parera) and ES (Eko Suparno)," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri during a press conference at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, September 23.

Firli revealed that the bribery attempt initially started when Heryanto and Eko were initially dissatisfied with the results of the civil verdict at the first instance. Therefore, they plan to take the option of cassation in the Supreme Court.

After filing a lawsuit, Heryanto and Eko again entrusted the case to Yosep and Eko. The two lawyers then tried to lobby the clerk at the Supreme Court.

"The employees who are willing and agree with YP and ES, namely DY (Desy Yustria) with the provision of some money," he said.

After that, Desy invited civil servants at the Registrar's Office of MA Muhajir Habibie and Judicial Judge/registrar Elly Tri Pangestu to participate in the conspiracy. Both of them were asked to be a bridge for handing over the money to the panel of judges.

The money given was 205,000 Singapore dollars or IDR 2.2 billion to Desy. Furthermore, Desy received IDR 250 million from the total.

Meanwhile, Muhajir received IDR 850 million and Elly received IDR 100 million. "And SD (Sudrajad Dimyati) received around IDR 800 million, which was received through ETP (Elly)," said Firli.

After receiving the money, the decision that Yosep and Eko hoped for KSP Intidana to be declared bankrupt was granted.

"KPK suspects that DY and partners also received other gifts from litigants at the Supreme Court and this will be further investigated by the investigative team," said Firli.

In this case, the KPK has named ten suspects in the alleged bribery case handling cases in the Supreme Court. They are Supreme Court Justice Sudrajad Dimyati (SD); Supreme Court Judicial Judge, Elly Tri Pangestu (ETP); PNS MA, Desy Yustria (DY); PNS MA, Muhajir Habibie (MH); PNS MA, Redi (RD); PNS MA, Albasri (AB); lawyers Yosep Parera (YP) and Eko Suparno (ES); and private parties Heryanto Tanaka (HT) and Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto (IDKS).

HT, YP, ES, and IDKS are suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 or Article 6 letter c of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 1999 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code.
