JAKARTA - The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) has revealed allegations of the family of high-ranking Supreme Court (MA) officials who are brokers for case management. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was asked to investigate after naming the inactive Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati as a suspect.

"KPK should be able to develop other parties suspected of being involved. There was information in the past that several individuals admitted to the family of high-ranking Supreme Court officials who offered to help win a case," said MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman in a written statement, Sunday, September 26.

Boyamin received information that the family asked for a big reward. Usually, the gift is done in various camouflages.

"This markus process is carried out in a sophisticated manner, including allegations of camouflage in loan transactions or debt," he said.

Furthermore, MAKI appreciates the KPK's steps in capturing Sudrajad. This incident is expected to make the Supreme Court improve.

"Bravo to clean up the Supreme Court in order to realize justice which ends the welfare of the people of the Republic of Indonesia," said Boyamin.
