The Judicial Commission (KY) is ready to carry out the ethical process against the Supreme Court judge who has been named a suspect in the alleged bribery case handling at the Supreme Court (MA). KY will follow up by coordinating with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"In time, KY will exercise his authority in the ethical domain of the judges suspected of being involved. Whether at the same time or after the law enforcement process will be coordinated with the KPK," said KY Spokesperson Miko Ginting to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, November 29.

Miko said this coordination is important because the institution does not want to interfere with the ongoing legal process at the KPK. Moreover, KY supports the investigation of corruption in the judicial sector.

It is certain that KY will continue to monitor the investigation of the bribery case handling this case. They also handed over law enforcement against Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh who was also a suspect.

"For the suspect, Judge GS, until this stage, KY has paid full attention and left it to the law enforcement process at the KPK," he said.

In this case of case management, the KPK has named 13 people as suspects. They are Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh, Judicial Judge Prasetio Nugroho and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza.
