JAKARTA - The witness in the alleged corruption case related to the handling of the case at the Supreme Court (MA), Prasetyo Nugroho, assessed that the inactive Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh at first seemed to be "smooth" as the supreme judge, but had been acting strange for a long time.
Prasetyo as a former Gazalba assistant said the assessment was based on personal opinion at first glance while being Gazalba's assistant.
"This is my heart. I chatted with friends like that," said Prasetyo during the trial of examining witnesses at the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor), Thursday, July 18, which was confiscated by Antara.
Meanwhile, when he deepened his considerations regarding such Gazalba, Prasetyo did not explain further.
He also said that he did not chat much casually with Gazalba about things outside of work, so he only interacted a lot about work.
He revealed that before serving as Supreme Court justice in the criminal chamber, Gazalba was an ad hoc judge in the regional court. Before becoming a judge, Gazalba worked as a lecturer.
Prasetyo testified in the alleged corruption case related to the handling of the case in the Supreme Court with the defendant Gazalba.
