The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named a new suspect in the alleged bribery case handling at the Supreme Court (MA). His identity will be announced as soon as possible.

"God willing, I will release it in the near future," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri in Jakarta, Thursday, November 10.

Firli did not specify who the suspect had just been named. Investigators are still investigating the case by looking for evidence and examining witnesses.

"Surely later the KPK will officially announce who, whether there are still other suspects that we will determine as suspects," he said.

The KPK still needs time to carry out an investigation. The public is asked to be patient.

The anti-corruption commission is reported to have named two people as new suspects. Based on a VOI source, one of the suspects is Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh.

"Yes, that's right (Ma Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh is a suspect, ed)," said the source when contacted on Thursday, November 10.

Apart from Gazalba, another suspect is a staff member. However, the source did not elaborate.

"The others are also (determined as suspects, ed). More than one (suspect, ed)," he said.

Previously, the KPK named 10 suspects in the case management case at the Supreme Court. They are Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati; Judicial Judge or substitute clerk, Elly Tri Pangestu (ETP); two state civil servants (ASN) at the Supreme Court, Desy Yustria (DY) and Muhajir Habibie (MH); and two ASNs in the Supreme Court, Nurmanto Akmal (NA), and Albasri (AB).

Next, lawyers Yosep Parera (YP) and Eko Suparno (ES) as well as debtors of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative, Heryanto Tanaka (HT), and Debtor of the Savings and Loans Cooperative Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto (IDKS).

In this case, Sudrajad Dimyati allegedly accepted bribes to win a civil lawsuit at the Semarang District Court. The submission is related to the activities of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative.

The bribe money was given by two lawyers, namely Yosep and Eko for civil cases. Both of them tried to win their client, KSP Intidana, so that it was declared bankrupt.

To take care of this case, two lawyers handed over 205,000 Singapore dollars or Rp. 2.2 billion to Desy. Furthermore, Desy received Rp. 250 million of money from the whole.

Next, Muhajir received Rp850 million and Elly received Rp100 million. Finally, Sudrajad received Rp800 million which was received from the party representing him.
