JAKARTA - Sworddut Saiful Jamil submitted a petition for judicial review (PK) for the bribery case against the judge who handled the sexual harassment case that ensnared him in 2017. Responding to this, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) claimed to be ready to face the request.
"The KPK is certainly ready to face the PK petition submitted by the convicted party," said Acting KPK spokesman for Enforcement Ali Fikri in a written statement, Friday, February 19.
Furthermore, the KPK public prosecutor team will immediately compile their opinion and submit the PK counter-memory to the Supreme Court through a panel of PK judges at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court.
"Even though PK is the right of the convict as stipulated by law, but in turn the community will also monitor and assess the sense of justice in every decision of the judges at the PK level and towards the institutional trust of the Supreme Court," he said.
The PK session was held online for the first time today with the agenda of reading the memory of the PK application. "The trial will continue on Friday, March 5, 2021 with an agenda for the PK respondent's response," Ali explained.
In this case, Saiful Jamil was sentenced to three years in prison. He was found guilty after committing bribes to North Jakarta Court judge, Ifa Sudewi through the substitute clerk, Rohadi. The bribe involved Berthanatalia Refer.
The total ready to be given by the sworddut at that time reached IDR 250 million. For the bribe, the panel of judges sentenced Saiful to 3 years and a fine of Rp. 100 million. The sentence was lighter than the charge of seven years in prison.
