DOK BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination of four judges in the case of bribery for the execution of land disputes at the Depok District Court (PN). They were examined in their capacity as witnesses.

"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building," KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo told reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, May 26.

The four people who were called as witnesses were Dwi Elyarahma, Ultry Meiliyeni, Erlinawati and Evri Dayanti. "All of them are judges," said Budi.

The details of the examination of the four judges have not been detailed. However, the four are suspected of knowing the illegal practice that is being handled.

As previously reported, the KPK announced five suspects of receiving bribes and gratuities related to land dispute management at the Depok District Court (PN) after carrying out a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Thursday evening, February 6. They are the Chairman of the Depok District Court (PN) I Wayan Eka Mariarta; Deputy Chairman of the Depok District Court (PN) Bambang Setyawan; Jurusita PN Depok Yohansyah Maruanaya; President Director of PT Karabha Digdaya, Trisnandi Yulrisman; and Head of Corporate Legal PT Karabha Digdaya, Berliana Tri Kusuma.

This case is said to have started in 2023, when the Depok PN granted a lawsuit by PT Karabha Digdaya, which is a business entity in the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) related to a land dispute of 6,500 meters in Tapos District, Depok, West Java.

PT Karaba Digdaya then allegedly gave Rp850 million in money sourced from the disbursement of checks with the underlying payment of a fictitious invoice from PT SKBB Consulting Solusindo (consultant of PT KD).

The donation was allegedly handed over to I Wayan Eka and Bambang Setiawan through Yohansyah as a jurusita.

As a result of their actions, the suspects are suspected of violating Article 605 letter a and/or Article 606 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code in conjunction with Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes.

In addition, Bambang is also suspected of violating Article 12 B of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. Because, he is suspected of receiving a gratification of IDR 2.5 billion which originated from a deposit on a foreign exchange exchange on behalf of PT Daha Mulia Valasindo (DMV).
