Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari has been named a suspect by the Attorney General for allegedly accepting bribes related to the fatwa so that Djoko Tjandra is not executed in the Bank Bali cessie case at the Supreme Court.

The AGO suspects that Pinangki received a bribe worth 500 thousand US dollars or the equivalent of Rp7 billion from Djoko Tjandra. In this case, the Attorney General's Office has also appointed Djoko Tjandra as the bribe giver. Most recently, the AGO has named Andi Irfan Jaya as a suspect related to the agreement in the MA fatwa.
