The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated documents while examining Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan in the alleged bribery case handling the case. He was examined as a witness to complete the file of Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh on Monday, December 12 yesterday. "The investigative team confiscated documents from witnesses related to the personnel administration of the suspect GS and his friends," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, December 13. Not only that, Hasbi was also questioned regarding the employment status of Gazalba and other employees. Apart from Hasbi, investigators also summoned an entrepreneur named Dadan Tri Yudianto. However, Ali said the witness was not present because he was unable to attend. "The witness was not present because he was sick and confirmed with the investigative team for rescheduling," he said. Hasbi Hasan previously admitted that he was asked for information regarding the process of appointing and dismissing Judge Yustitial Prasetio Nugroho and staff of Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh, Redhy Novarisza. "What is clear is that I conveyed the decree on the appointment of Redhy, Prasetio, then the proposed dismissal, that's all," Hasbi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, December 12. 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).
