The Judicial Commission (KY) supports the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate allegations of bribery in case management at the Supreme Court (MA) that ensnared Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh. This step is expected to resolve corrupt practices in the judicial sector and restore public trust.

"KY supports the KPK to thoroughly investigate the issue of corruption in the judicial sector while at the same time restoring public confidence in the integrity of judges," said KY spokesman Miko Ginting in a written statement, Wednesday, November 30.

Miko said KY regretted the incident. His institution will later intervene to take action against Gazalba and other suspects who have just been named by the KPK ethically.

However, KY will coordinate with the anti-corruption commission before enforcing ethics. They do not want the KPK's work to be disrupted by the process they will run.

"In time, KY will exercise his authority in the ethical domain against the judges who are suspected of being involved," he said.

"Whether it is the same or after the law enforcement process, it will be coordinated with the KPK. This is to ensure that the law enforcement process by the KPK is not disturbed by the ethical process by KY, but to complement each other," continued Miko.

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.

Gazalba was named a suspect because it was suspected of discriminating the decision on Budiman Gandi Suparman's cassation related to disputes within the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative.

As a result of his actions, Budiman, who is a board member, was sentenced to five years in prison. This decision was based on an agreement to give money amounting to Rp. 2.2 billion or 202,000 Singapore dollars.

Meanwhile, the other 10 people named as suspects are the inactive Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati, Judicial Judge or substitute clerk, Elly Tri Pangestu (ETP); two state civil servants (ASN) at the MA, Desy Yustria (DY) and Muhajir Habibie (MH); and two ASN in the MA, 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).

Currently, 12 suspects have been detained at different KPK detention centers. Only Gazalba is not currently wearing an orange vest.
