JAKARTA - The news of the death of KPK Supervisory Board member, Artidjo Alkostar, which seemed to be sudden, made many people lose. Many people pray for the deceased.

In fact, almost all state officials prayed for him. The palace has also offered condolences and prayed for him.

Social media activist, Denny Siregar, also expressed his condolences. "Innalillahi wa innailaihi radjiun," Denny said on his Twitter account, Sunday, February 28.

However, Denny emphasized the issue of Artidjo Alkostar, who was greatly feared by corruptors for his severe verdict. However, he said, now corruptors can be relieved.

"Fortunately, the corruptors now, because they will never feel the hardness of Judge Artidjo Alkostar's hammer," said Denny.

Denny's upload was commented on by several netizens. They shared their condolences and prayed for the deceased.

However, @Slametenan joked at Denny's review. "Sorry, Denny ... At first I wanted to say my condolences but how come I was disturbed by your tweet. It's not that the deceased can't hit the hammer because he's not a judge. How lucky is a corruptor ... you know bro don't take it to heart," he said.

It is known that Artidjo Alkosar is no longer a judge. He is currently a member of the KPK Supervisory Board since the end of December 2019.

Artidjo was born in Situbondo on 22 May 1948. He has served as Supreme Court Justice since 2000 and retired on 22 May 2018. During these 18 years, he has handled many major cases.

The cases of the Hambalang sports center project, bribery of imported meat, and bribery of the head of the Constitutional Court are some of the cases he has handled.

In the case of the Hambalang sports center project, Artidjo Alkostar has increased the verdict of the Democratic Party politician, Angelina Sondakh, to 12 years, Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Previously, she was sentenced to four years and six months.

Then, Artidjo also intensified the verdict against the former chairman of the Democratic Party, Anas Urbaningrum in a corruption and money laundering case for the Hambalang Education Training Center and National Sports School (P3SON) project, Bogor, West Java. Previously, Anas was sentenced to 7 years and increased to 14 years in prison.

For the bribery case, the head of the Constitutional Court, Artidjo strengthened the verdict of the Jakarta Corruption Court and the Jakarta High Court which sentenced Akil Mochtar to life imprisonment, the former chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK).

For that reason, Artidjo Alkostar is a frightening specter for corruptors. Because he did not hesitate to punish the corruptors with the heaviest sanctions.
