The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined three Supreme Court employees on Tuesday, January 31. They were asked for information as witnesses regarding the alleged bribery in handling the case that ensnared the inactive Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh. Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said the three witnesses were Susi, Reny, and Ika Hapsari. They served as staff who helped Gazalba's work and were questioned about this. "The witnesses were present and their knowledge was explored, among others, related to the main tasks of the suspect GS as Supreme Court Justice," Ali told reporters, Wednesday, February 1. Ali did not specify what the investigators got from the examination. However, the witnesses allegedly knew about the fraudulent practice carried out by Gazalba in an effort to manage the case. In this case, the KPK has named Supreme Court Justice Gazalba Saleh as a suspect along with two other people, namely Yustial Judge Prasetio Nugroho and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza. This determination is the aftermath of a hand arrest operation (OTT) within the Supreme Court some time ago. Gazalba allegedly indicated the cassation decision of Budiman Gandi Suparman related to disputes within the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative. As a result of his actions, Budiman, who is the management of the cooperative, was sentenced to five years in prison. This decision was based on an agreement to give IDR 2.2 billion or 202,000 Singapore dollars. In the case of case management at the Supreme Court, the KPK has named a total of 14 suspects. They are Judicial Justices, Edy Wibowo; Supreme Court Justice, Gazalba Saleh; Yustial Judge, Prasetio Nugroho; and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza. The other ten are Supreme Court Justice Sudrajat 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); and two ASN in the Supreme Court, Nurmanto Akmal (NA) and Albasri (AB). Then, lawyers Yosep Parera (YP) and Eko Suparno (ES) as well as debtors of Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperatives Heryanto Tanaka (HT) and Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto (IDKS).
