JAKARTA - The Jakarta High Court (PT) canceled the intermediate decision on the gratification and money laundering case that ensnared the inactive Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh. The Jakarta Corruption Court was asked to continue the trial.

"Ordered the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court which tried the a quo case to continue to try and decide the a quo case," said Chief Judge Subachran Hardi Mulyono at the Jakarta High Court, Monday, June 24.

The Panel of Judges of PT Jakarta in its decision rejected the objections or exceptions raised by the Gazalba camp. The KPK did not make a mistake in making the indictment.

"The indictment is valid to be used as the basis for examining and adjudicating corruption cases on behalf of the defendant Gazalba Saleh," said Subachran when reading the verdict.

As previously reported, the Jakarta Corruption Court ordered the KPK to release Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh in a trial held on Monday, May 27. This order came after the exception submitted was granted.

"To try, one, grant a note of objection from the legal advisory team of the defendant Gazalba Saleh," said Panel of Judges Fahzal Hendri.

This exception was granted because the judge assessed that the prosecutor at the KPK had not received an appointment from the Attorney General. Thus, the indictment submitted cannot be accepted.

This decision then caused a strong reaction from the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata. He even asked the Supreme Court Supervisory Body (Bawas MA) and the Judicial Commission (KY) to examine the panel of judges at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court who tried the case.
