The Attorney General's Office (AGO) examined ten witnesses in the follow-up investigation of cases of alleged bribery and gratuities related to the dismissal (ontslag) of the export case of crude palm oil (CPO) involving a number of large corporations. Two of them are substitute clerks at the Central Jakarta District Court.
Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the AGO, Harli Siregar, revealed that the two examined clerks had the initials AMT and MNBMG. They are said to have an important role in the judicial process being investigated.
In addition, investigators also examined DH, the wife of the suspect Agam Syarif Baharuddin, one of the judges suspected of accepting bribes. The examination was also carried out on two drivers, namely AG (a driver Marcella Santoso) and AHS (private Ariyanto), as well as three legal office staff Aryanto Arnaldo Law Firm (AALF) with the initials RPW, ASR, and AFA.
The examination also targeted NTT, Director of PT Yes Money Changer, and BM as legal advisers from the Legal Consultation and Assistance Institute (LKBH).
"The witness examination was carried out to strengthen the evidence and complete the filing of the case," said Harli in a written statement, Wednesday (23/4).
In this case, the AGO has named eight main suspects, including three active judges: Djuyamto, Agam Syarif Baharuddin, and Ali Muhtarom. In addition, the other suspects are Wahyu Gunawan (young civil clerk of the North Jakarta District Court), two advocates namely Marcella Santoso and Aryanto Bakri, and Muhammad Arif Nuryanta who served as Chairman of the South Jakarta District Court.
The latest suspect named is Muhammad Syafei, Head of Legal Social Security at PT Wilmar Group. He is suspected of being the party that regulates the flow of bribe funds worth Rp. 60 billion through clerk Wahyu Gunawan to the judges.

The bribe money was allegedly given in order to impose a release verdict on three giant corporations: PT Wilmar Group, PT Permata Hijau Group, and PT Musim Mas Group.
Ironically, the three judges in the panel were said to have received money while knowing that the funds were aimed at intervening in court decisions. This adds to the long list of alleged conspiracy in the Indonesian justice system.
