JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the opportunity to ensnare the inactive Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh under the article money laundering (TPPU). They are now looking for evidence. "As long as evidence is found for allegedly hiding or disguising the origin and other elements as stipulated in the TPPU Law," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, March 16. Ali ensured that investigators would continue to investigate the flow of money that Gazalba allegedly received from efforts to manage cases at the Supreme Court (MA). It is hoped that the application of the money laundering crime article will be able to provide a deterrent effect. "We ensure that we continue to pursue and explore the flow of money as an effort to follow the proceeds of crime in this case," he said. "Hopefully, the deterrent effect for the perpetrators can be felt when the confiscation of all the proceeds of his crime is carried out. There is no room and opportunity for corruptors to enjoy the results of their crimes," Ali continued. Previously, the KPK had questioned PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (Tbk) regarding an unnatural transaction carried out by Gazalba. However, no details on the banking activities. Meanwhile, in the case of bribery in case of case management, 15 people have been named as suspects by the KPK. They are Judicial Judge Edy Wibowo; Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh; Judicial Judge Prasetio Nugroho; and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza. Other suspects, namely Supreme Court Justice Sudrajad Dimyati; Judicial Judge or substitute clerk Elly Tri Pangestu; two state civil servants (ASN) at the Maksa Desy Yustria and Muhajir Habibie; as well as two ASN in the Supreme Court, Nurmanto Akmal and Albasri. Furthermore, the anti-corruption commission also named lawyers Yosep Parera and Eko Suparno and debtor of the Intidana Heryanto Tanaka Savings and Loans Cooperative, Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto, as suspects.
