The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the former Supreme Court Justice (MA) Agung Sofyan Sitompul was absent from the investigator's summons. He did not send any information regarding his absence from the investigation which was supposed to be carried out on Wednesday, February 22. "The witness was not present and the information we have received so far has not been confirmed for reasons of his absence," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, February 23. Later, the KPK will schedule a re-examination. Ali said the summons would be sent soon because Sofyan's statement was needed to make light of the case management case at the Supreme Court that ensnared the inactive Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh. "The investigative team will immediately reschedule and send a summons," he said. In addition, there were two witnesses who were also not present. They are entrepreneurs named Jaffar Abdul Gaffar and notary, R. Tunggul Nirboyo. "The witness was not present and was rescheduled again," said Ali. As previously reported, the KPK has named 14 suspects in the bribery case in handling this case. They are Judicial Judge Edy Wibowo; Supreme Court Judge Gazalba Saleh; Judicial Judge Prasetio Nugroho; and Gazalba staff, Redhy Novarisza. Another suspect, namely Judge Agung Sudrajad Dimyati; Judicial Judge or substitute clerk Elly Tri Pangestu; two state civil servants (ASN) at the Mak Kementeratan Desy Yustria and Muhajir Habibie; and two ASNs in the MA, Nurmanto Akmal and Albasri. Then, lawyers Yosep Parera and Eko Suparno as well as debtors of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative, Heryanto Tanaka, and the Debtor of the Savings and Loans Cooperative Ivan Dwi Kusuma Sujanto. In addition, there is another suspect who has just been named in this case, namely the Chairman of the Sandi Karya Hospital Foundation (RS) Makassar (SKM), Wahyu Hardi.
