The Judicial Commission (KY) pays attention to the trial process for the alleged corruption case in the procurement of metrology tools and other facilities at the Department of Industry and Trade (Disperindag) Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

The Coordinator of the NTB KY Liaison Office, Ridho Ardian Pratama, said the panel of judges who led the case involved the former Head of the Dompu Disperindag Sri Suzana who continued to enforce the Code of Conduct Guideline Code (KEPPH).

"We do not hesitate to coordinate with the mystery shop team if it is suspected that there were irregularities and violations of the KEPPH in this trial," Ridho said by telephone, Friday, September 1, as reported by Antara.

Mystery swing is a special task force (taskus) from the Supreme Court (MA) that functions to supervise and has the authority to take firm action against judges who are proven to have violated the KEPPH.

With similar powers, Ridho emphasized that KY had paid attention to the trial process of the case.

"Of course supervision is not only in this case, but also in general court proceedings," he said.

In carrying out the supervisory function of the trial process of the case, Ridho said that KY NTB had asked for central support.

"So, we have proposed to the center for monitoring. Now we just have to wait for the position whether the monitoring is carried out openly or behind closed doors," he said.

In this case, there were three defendants, namely Sri Suzana as a budget user as well as a commitment-making official (PPK), then Iskandar with the role of technical activity implementing officials (PPTK), and Yanrik from the procurement implementation.

On Friday (1/9), the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court held Sri Suzana's inaugural trial with the agenda of reading the indictment by the public prosecutor.

The panel of judges who heard the case was Mukhlasssuddin as chairman along with members of Irlina and Fadhli Hanra's career judges from ad hoc corruption judges.

With the permission of the panel of judges, the public prosecutor only read out the subject matter of Sri Suzana's indictment and for the description of the indictment from the case that dragged the former Head of the Dompu Regency Industry and Trade Department, it was considered to have been read out.

During the trial, the judge also stated to continue the status of the defendant's city detention by requesting that he remain present on the agenda of the trial.

Sri Suzana in this case was charged with criminal charges in accordance with Article 2 paragraph (1) and / or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

One of the supporting evidences of the application of the criminal allegation is the results of the calculation of state financial losses (PKKN) from the NTB Inspectorate with a value of Rp398 million from the procurement value of Rp1.42 billion.

At the investigation stage, the prosecutor had detained Sri Suzana. The detention was carried out simultaneously with two other defendants.

However, when the prosecutor wanted to carry out stage two of the transfer of the suspect and evidence to the public prosecutor on August 10, 2023, only Sri Suzana was not present for reasons of having vertigo which required her to undergo medical treatment at the Dompu District Hospital.

This reason does not include the results of laboratory checks from the hospital.

The prosecutor's office also had plans to re-health tests on Sri Suzana. However, this was not carried out, but on August 15, 2023, the Sri Suzana case had entered the public prosecutor's desk with the status of a city prisoner.
