JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said he would immediately follow up on the cancellation of the intermediate decision of the inactive Supreme Court Gazalba Saleh by the Jakarta High Court (PT). He said, tapping the hammer of judges indicated that they were not intervened by any party.

"I am sure that if there is no intervention, the panel of judges at the appeal level will cancel the intermediary decision of the Central Jakarta Corruption Court which acquitted GS," Alexander said in a written statement, Monday, June 24.

"KPK will immediately follow up on this decision," he continued.

Alexander said that his party was still waiting for a copy of the decision of the PT Jakarta Panel of Judges. However, Gazalba should have been detained again if the interlocutory decision was canceled.

"It will be read first by the decision of the panel of judges on what to consider (cancelling the interlocutory decision, ed). If the Corruption Court's decision at the Jakarta District Court (PN) is canceled, it means that it will include canceling the release in question," he said.

As previously reported, PT Jakarta canceled the interlocutory 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 submitted by the Gazalba camp. The KPK did not make a mistake in making the indictment.

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.
