JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) asked the Jakarta Corruption Court Panel of Judges at the trial of alleged gratification and money laundering that ensnared the inactive Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh.
This was conveyed by the Chairman of the KPK, Nawawi Pomolango, in response to the Jakarta High Court (PT) which canceled the interlocutory decision of the Jakarta Corruption Court. He said, before the trial was resumed, replacements had to be carried out.
"KPK asks the Central Jakarta Corruption Court to restart the investigation of the case on behalf of Gazalba Saleh," Nawawi told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 25.
"With a note to change the composition of the previous panel of judges," he continued.
Nawawi emphasized that this replacement was necessary in order to prevent a conflict of interest. He said this process could be because it was regulated in the law.
"There are quite a lot of judges on the Corruption Eradication Committee in Central Jakarta. To make it fairer, the old assembly did not get caught up in the conflict of interest in the interim decision product they had previously born," he explained.
In addition, Nawawi said the detention of Gazalba Saleh should be immediately determined by the Jakarta Corruption Court. So that the legal process that was delayed due to the interlocutory decision can be carried out immediately.
Nawawi asked all parties to oversee the next trial of Gazalba. "So that the legal process that goes by is obedient to the principles of the law itself," 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.
