JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) asserts that they have not found any evidence of a role relationship between suspect Attorney General Andi Irfan Jaya and suspect Bareskrim Polri Tommy Sumardi in the Joko Tjandra case scandal.

"Until now, we haven't (found a connection)," Febrie told reporters, Thursday, October 1.

However, the two suspects are suspected of having links to a bonus of Rp. 10 billion in the 9th action plan in an effort to obtain a fatwa from the Supreme Court (MA) and the removal of red notice promised by Joko Tjandra.

It's just that the AGO does not know the relationship between the two. So that his party will wait for these two cases to be tried. If new facts are found in the trial, then his party, namely the public prosecutor (JPU) will make his own notes.

Thus, the information obtained from the trial does not rule out being investigated. That way case development will be carried out.

"If there are developments there, of course the prosecutor will make an opinion note," he said.

In the case of the issuance of this Supreme Court fatwa, Andi Irfan Jaya was named a suspect along with prosecutors Pinangki and Djoko Tjandra by the Attorney General's Office. Pinangki is currently undergoing trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court.

Former Nasdem Party politician Andi Irfan Jaya became a suspect in this case because he brokered bribery for Prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari. Apart from that, he is suspected of also receiving money from Joko Tjandra.

Andi Irfan is suspected of Article 5 Paragraph (2) in conjunction with paragraph (1) letter b jo Article 15 of Law (UU) Number 31 Year 1999 as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 Year 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption (Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st KUHP.

Meanwhile, Tommy Sumardi is a suspect in the alleged bribery case for the removal of Joko Tjandra's red notice which was handled by the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit. He was charged with Article 5 Paragraph 1, Article 13 of Law 20/2020 concerning Corruption (Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code.
