JAKARTA - Surabaya District Court Judge, Itong Isnaeni Hidayat, suddenly turned around during a press conference for the KPK's arrest operation and said he had never received any money. KPK Deputy Chairman Nawawi Pomolango responded to Judge Itong's 'resistance'.

"For us, please feel free to express yourself in whatever way you want to shout, the KPK has sufficient evidence to identify a suspect at this time," Nawawi said at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih Building, Thursday, January 20 night.

At that time, Nawawi was tasked with explaining the series of arrests and the case against Judge Itong. When explaining the location of detention, Itong, who was standing behind Nawawi facing the wall, immediately turned around.

"I never promise anything. That's bullshit," said Itong.

Judge Itong was then asked to turn towards the wall by the prison guard. Yet he still continued to try to speak in handcuffs. Nawawi, who was in front of him, remained calm and continued reading the material.

Judge Itong is the sole judge in the case for the dissolution of PT SGP. The lawyer representing PT SGP is Hendro Kasiono, who has also been named a suspect with the status of a giver.

The KPK suspects that there was an agreement between Hendro and PT SGP to prepare the money to be given to the judge. It is suspected that the amount of money that has been prepared is IDR 1.3 billion up to the level of the decision in the Supreme Court.

Hendro and a substitute clerk, Hamdan, were arrested in the Surabaya District Court after handing over the money.

During the silent operation, IDR 145 million was found as an initial sign regarding the dissolution of PT SGP with a divisible asset value of IDR 50 billion. The total amount of money that must be submitted is IDR 1.3 billion so that the decision is in accordance with the private party who is the briber.

The KPK also suspects that Itong received money from a number of cases that were heard at the Surabaya District Court. Later, this will be explored further during the investigation process.

The KPK explained why only three people were named suspects. Nawawi said, until now investigators have not found strong evidence of connection with PT SGP. This is because the application for this case to the court is carried out by more than one person.

"This is not the end of the case process," said Nawawi.
