JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office has revealed how Andi Irfan Jaya has convinced Djoko Tjandra in administering the Mahkaham Agung (MA) fatwa. One of them is by depriving or 'selling the name' of a judge.

"Si Andi is to convince Djoko Tjandra to sell the name (Judge) which we will reveal to the indictment," said Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes at the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia, Febrie Ardiansyah, to reporters, Tuesday, September 8.

The withdrawal of the name was also the reason for investigators to suspect Andi Irfan with Article 6 paragraph (1) letter a regarding the criminal act of corruption. However, Febrie was reluctant to explain the judge's figure.

"This is what the fatwa sells, now where (the Supreme Court) is," he said.

In addition, the suspicion of bribery occurred when Andi Irfan Jaya planned to administer the fatwa of MA Djoko Tjandra. However, the bribery had not happened at all.

"It hasn't (happened) yet, that's why I said that the attorney's opinion is not necessarily the person willing to be bribed, except for an experiment," said Febrie.

Andi Irfan Jaya was officially named a suspect by the Attorney General's Office. He is suspected of brokering Djoko Tjandra's bribes to Prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari.

The Attorney General's Office ensnared Pinangki's close friend Andi Irfan with Article 5 paragraph (2) jo paragraph (1) letter b or Article 6 paragraph (1) letter a jo. Article 15 of Law No.31 of 1999 as amended and supplemented by Law No. 20 of 2001 on Corruption Eradication jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of the Criminal Code.

Article 5 deals with paying bribes. Meanwhile, Article 6 paragraph (1) letter a is giving or promising something to the judge with the intention of influencing the verdict of a case submitted to him for trial.
