JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined four Supreme Court judges at the Supreme Court today, Thursday, January 19. The examination was carried out in connection with the alleged bribery in case management. "After we checked the information, it was true, today, at the Supreme Court (MA) Building, we have finished examining the witnesses of the Supreme Court," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, January 19. The four Supreme Court judges questioned were Prim Haryadi, Sri Murwahyuni, Ibrahim, and Syamsul Maarif. Investigators asked for information regarding the case that was decided by the inactive Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati. "The witnesses had their knowledge explored regarding the handling of cases that had been handled by the suspects at SD, et al," said Ali. Furthermore, Ali said the investigation was not carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building but at the Supreme Court Building. The reason is that the four of them are in trial but their statements are needed. "For the effectiveness of the examination because the witnesses have a trial schedule, while the investigative team must immediately complete the case file for the suspect SD et al," Ali explained. "So the examination was carried out at the Supreme Court Building," he continued. Previously, 14 suspects were named by the KPK in the case of bribery case management at the Supreme Court. They are Judicial Judge, Edy Wibowo; Attorney General, Gazalba Saleh; Yustitial Judge, Prasetio Nugroho; and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza. The other ten are Supreme Court Justice Sudrajat Dimyati; 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). Then, lawyers Yosep Parera (YP) and Eko Suparno (ES) as well as debtors of Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperatives Heryanto Tanaka (HT), and Debtor of Savings and Loans Cooperative Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto (IDKS). Of all the suspects, only Gazalba filed a pretrial lawsuit with the South Jakarta District Court. The submission was made because he did not accept being named a suspect but was eventually rejected.
