JAKARTA - The Supreme Court (MA) has denied the mutation and rotation of hundreds of judges and clerks related to the legal action against judicial instruments carried out by the Attorney General's Office (AGO).

Spokesperson for the Supreme Court, Yanto emphasized that mutations and rotations are things that have been scheduled and scheduled. The goal is solely to refresh organizations or institutions.

"This opportunity is in order to refresh it can give even greater enthusiasm to judges and court officials to work even better," Yanto said in his statement, Wednesday, April 23.

In addition, mutations and rotations were carried out to realize the second and third missions of the Supreme Court, namely, providing fair legal services to justice seekers and improving the leadership quality of the judiciary.

Meanwhile, regarding the legal process for judges and court officials suspected of committing a criminal act of bribery, the Supreme Court handed it over to investigators while still upholding the applicable legal provisions.

In fact, Yanto emphasized whether or not there was an arrest of judges and clerks, the Supreme Court remains committed to preventing the opening of gambling corruption opportunities in every court.

"Incidentally, in the opportunity for promotion and mutation, it is focused on judges and clerks in court in the jurisdiction of PT DKI and several other special Class 1A courts," said Yanto.

It is known that the AGO is investigating a case of alleged bribery and gratification related to a leniency (ontslag) case for the export of crude palm oil (CPO) involving a number of large corporations.

In this case, eight people have been named as suspects, five of whom are judicial apparatus. They are three active judges, namely Djuyamto, Agam Syarif Baharuddin, and Ali Muhtarom. In addition, the other suspects are Wahyu Gunawan (young civil clerk of the North Jakarta District Court), and Muhammad Arif Nuryanta who serves as Chairman of the South Jakarta District Court.

It is known that the Supreme Court rotated 199 judges and 68 clerks. Of the hundreds of judges who were transferred, one of them was Eko Aryanto, who was the judge who tried Harvey Moeis in the corruption case at PT Timah.

The mutation was known based on the results of the Supreme Court's leadership meeting (Rapim) issued Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Judge Eko Aryanto was transferred from the Central Jakarta District Court to the Sidoarjo District Court

Judge Eko Aryanto was in the spotlight when he tried the Harvey Moeis case. This is because the prison sentence given to Sandra Dewi's husband is only 6.5 years.

The spotlight got sharper when the Jakarta High Court (PT) actually increased Harvey's sentence to 20 years in prison.
