JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) still does not want to officially mention the new suspect in the bribery case handling the case at the Supreme Court (MA). The announcement is waiting for sufficient evidence to be declared.

"We will announce the party who has been named a suspect when this investigation is sufficient," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, November 11.

Ali ensured that the collection of evidence was still ongoing. It is certain that every existing development will be conveyed openly.

The public is asked to continue to monitor the development of this case. "Currently, the KPK is still collecting evidence, however, we will definitely convey any developments to the public," he said.

"We invite the public to participate in overseeing and supervising the investigation process that we are currently carrying out," Ali continued.

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.
