The Judicial Commission (KY) recommends that 45 judges be sanctioned for violating the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges (KEPPH) for the period January to September 2023.

In detail, the judges who were proven to have violated the KEPPH consisted of 13 judges who were proposed to be given light sanctions, 7 judges were sentenced to moderate sanctions, and 13 judges were given severe sanctions.

"As for the other 12 judges, they cannot be given a proposal to impose sanctions because they have already been sanctioned by the Supreme Court Supervisory Agency (Bawas MA)," said Head of the Supervision of Judges and Investigations of KY Joko Sasmito at a press conference at the Judicial Commission Building, Jakarta, Friday, November 3, confiscated by Antara.

Light sanctions in the form of verbal warnings were imposed on 1 judge, written warnings handed down to 5 judges, and written statements of dissatisfaction for 7 judges.

Moderate sanctions in the form of delaying a periodic salary increase for a maximum of one year were imposed on 2 judges, a decrease in salary by 1 time the periodic salary increase of a maximum of 1 year was imposed on 1 judge, a maximum promotion delay of one year was handed down to 3 judges, and mutations to other courts with lower classes handed down to 1 judge.

"For severe sanctions, KY suggested that non-hammer sanctions be more than 6 months and a maximum of 2 years be imposed on 8 judges, permanent dismissal with pension rights handed down to 1 judge, and dishonorable dismissal of 4 judges," said Joko.

A total of 12 judges were judged to have violated the KEPPH for manipulating the facts of the trial or a copy of the verdict, 8 judges were unprofessional, 4 judges had an affair, and 2 judges accepted bribes or gratuities.

In addition, the rest of the judges who were sanctioned violated the KEPPH because they were involved in conflicts of interest, neglected their legal wives, abandoned their wives from unregistered marriages, did not give the complainant access to meet their children, revealed confidential information to other parties who were not litigants, and protected other judges who were proven to have committed infidelity.

KY has summoned 693 people consisting of reporters, witnesses, experts and reported parties to seek, collect, process, and test data or evidence related to judges suspected of violating the KEPPH.

"The examination is carried out face-to-face, and electronic checks are for remote examinations," said Joko.
