JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named ten people as suspects in alleged bribery in handling cases at the Supreme Court (MA). One of them, Supreme Court Justice Sudrajad Dimyati and Judicial Judge/Substitute Registrar of Supreme Court Elly Tri Pangestuti.

"Based on the results of witness statements and sufficient evidence, investigators have determined as many as 10 people as suspects," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, September 23 in the morning.
