The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has developed a case of alleged bribery in case management at the Supreme Court (MA) which ensnared Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati. It is reported that the KPK has named two people as new suspects.

Based on a VOI source, one of the people named as a suspect recently was Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh.

"Yes, that's right (Ma Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh is a suspect, ed)," said the source when contacted on Thursday, November 10.

Apart from Gazalba, another suspect is a staff member. However, the source did not elaborate.

"The others are also (determined as suspects, ed). More than one (suspect, ed)," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri, has not yet spoken about the determination of the suspect. He only said that the investigation process is currently being carried out to make clear the alleged bribery that occurred.

"The investigation process continues. We continue to collect and complete evidence," said Ali in a written statement.

The KPK believes that the Supreme Court will support the investigation of bribes in handling this case. The public is asked to be patient and ensure that all developments in this case will be conveyed in a transparent manner.

"We make sure that the investigation process that the KPK is currently carrying out is always conveyed to the public as a form of transparency in the work of the KPK," said Ali.

As previously reported, the KPK named 10 suspects in the case management case at the Supreme Court. They are Supreme Court Judge Sudrajad Dimyati; Judicial Judge or substitute clerk, Elly Tri Pangestu (ETP); two state civil servants (ASN) at the Supreme Court, Desy Yustria (DY) and Muhajir Habibie (MH); as well as two ASN in the Supreme Court, Nurmanto Akmal (NA), and Albasri (AB).

Next, lawyers Yosep Parera (YP) and Eko Suparno (ES) as well as debtors of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative, Heryanto Tanaka (HT), and Debtor of the Savings and Loans Cooperative Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto (IDKS).

In this case, Sudrajad Dimyati allegedly accepted bribes to win a civil lawsuit at the Semarang District Court. The submission is related to the activities of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative.

The bribe money was given by two lawyers, namely Yosep and Eko for civil cases. Both of them tried to win their client, KSP Intidana, so that it was declared bankrupt.

To take care of this case, two lawyers handed over 205,000 Singapore dollars or Rp. 2.2 billion to Desy. Furthermore, Desy received Rp. 250 million of money from the whole.

Next, Muhajir received Rp850 million and Elly received Rp100 million. Finally, Sudrajad received Rp800 million which was received from the party representing him.
