The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the handling of the alleged bribery case management at the Supreme Court (MA) that ensnared Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh was carried out according to the rules. They have pocketed the sufficient evidence before naming him as a suspect.

"The process of handling this case is in accordance with applicable legal rules and mechanisms," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, November 28.

All of the evidence is believed to be able to strengthen the allegations made by Gazalba. Thus, Ali ensured that the KPK was ready to face the pretrial lawsuit filed by the Supreme Court Justice.

In addition, the KPK also believes that the judge will reject Gazalba's request. This is because all files that need to be attached will be submitted to the pretrial hearing at the South Jakarta District Court (PN).

"We are very confident that the judge who will examine will remain independent and decide to reject the request," he said.

Gazalba filed a pretrial lawsuit after he was named a suspect in the bribery case handling the case at the Supreme Court. The submission was made on Friday, November 25.

Judging from the Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) of the South Jakarta District Court, this lawsuit is registered with case number 110/Pid.Pra/2022/PN JKT.SEL. It is stated that the pretrial panel of judges stated that his determination as a suspect was declared invalid and not based on law.

Next, Gazalba Saleh also requested that his rights be restored. The panel of judges is expected to grant the lawsuit.

The determination of the suspect Gazalba as a suspect is the development of a bribery case handling the case in the Supreme Court that ensnared the inactive Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati.

Sudrajad was named a suspect along with nine other people, namely 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 ASN 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.
