The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was encouraged to investigate allegations of bribery in handling cases at the Surabaya Commercial Court.

This push was conveyed through a report filed by Agus Supriyo, a buyer of the Puricity Apartment unit and the Purimas Apartment under the auspices of PT MBC.

"The irregularities and allegations of irregularities occurred in the process of filing another lawsuit (GLL) by PT MBC," Agus told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, May 22.

After the bankruptcy decision, GLL's submission was considered odd. Agus saw that this process was not open, even until GLL was decided in case number 63/Pdt.Sus-Pailit-GLL/2023/PN Niaga Sby.

Agus detailed the irregularities, one of which was because PT MBC in GLL asked creditors who were late or did not register receivables to be included in the permanent receivable list.

"The creditors who have an interest in submitting the GLL should not be MBC creditors as debtors. Thus there is no legal standing," he said.

Agus suspects that there is spying between PT MBC and the Surabaya Commercial Court. "Given that the GLL is clearly formally flawed, contrary to the Bankruptcy Law and PKPU and exceeds the authority of the commercial judge, the strangeness is still granted," he explained.

On that basis, Agus encouraged the anti-corruption commission to investigate the allegations he reported.

"It is impossible to decide to deviate like that, if there is no conspiracy that is against the law," he concluded.
