TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The revelations of alleged bribery involving Supreme Court Justice Sudrajad Dimyati exposes the ‘business’ of cases in Indonesia’s highest level court. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) names 10 suspects. Six of them, including Dimyati, are Supreme Court personnel.
The other four suspects are attorney Theodorus Yosep Parera, along with a member of his staff, Eko Suparno, and two businessmen, Heryanto Tanaka and Ivan Dwi Kusuma, who are all accused of giving bribes. This is the first graft case involving a Supreme Court judge.
Initially, the KPK detained Yosep and Eko shortly after they handed over S$205,000 and S$50 million, equivalent to Rp2.2 billion, to Desy Yustria, a clerk at the Supreme Court. Investigators arrested Desy in Tambun, Bekasi, West Java. Sudrajad Dimyati received bribes to the tune of Rp800 million.
The money came from Heryanto Tanaka, a businessman who was asking for the Intidana saving and loan cooperative to be declared bankrupt. Dimyati was a member of the panel of judges hearing this request at the Supreme Court.
After they were arrested, Yosep and Heryanto revealed all about the amounts of money used to fix a legal case up to the judicial review level. We traced the flows of cash based on Heryanto’s confession. Who did he bribe to ease the way for the bankruptcy declaration? Which Supreme Court justices were involved?
