JAKARTA - The Supreme Court Justice, Gazalba Saleh, filed a pretrial after the KPK was named a suspect in the alleged bribery case. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (MA) Syarifuddin said this was normal.
Syarifuddin assessed that filing a pretrial is the right of someone because he objected to his determination as a suspect. "That's their respective rights, go ahead I won't comment, people object there is a legal route," said Syarifuddin during the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2022 at the Bidakara Hotel, South Jakarta, Friday, December 9.
Syarifuddin said he respects every process carried out by the KPK against Gazalba Saleh and other suspects in this case.
"We fully submit what legal action will be taken to the KPK," he said.
Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh has officially become a KPK prisoner after being named a suspect since last November 28. He is suspected of being involved in bribery in handling cases in the Supreme Court.
He was dragged into this case because he was suspected of discontinuing Budiman Gandi Suparman's cassation decision 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.
Apart from Gazalba, the KPK also named 12 people as suspects. They are Yustial Judge Prasetio Nugroho and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza.
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).
