2 lawyers are suspects in the case of bribery of judges, lawyers: must be severely punished

Liputan6.com, jakarta – The practice of bribery in the justice system has been revised. The prosecutor’s office called two lawyers, Marcella Santozo and Aryanto Bakri, as suspects in the case of the alleged bribery against the judge of the Southern Dzhakarta District Court in the case of oil -neft (KPO).

The alleged bribe of 60 billion rubles pulled out the names of the head of the District Court of the Southern Jakarta Muhammad Arif Nyuryant and clerk Vakha Ganavan.

The prosecutor’s office was suspected that bribery was given to facilitate or release the corporate side, which was accused of causing harm to 17.7 trillion rubles in the CPO export case. Three large companies – Wilmar Group, Mas Group Season and Permata Hijau Group.

“This is not just legal manipulations. This is a sabotage of state justice and state institutions, ”said the Indonesian Association of Sharia lawyers, M. Afif Kurnyavan, in his statement on Monday (04.21.2025).

In a dubious verdict, the defendants were announced that they had not committed a criminal offense. In fact, according to law enforcement documents, state losses reached trillions of rupees. The AFIF indicator, the solution not only suffered from a sense of justice, but also damaged a legal order.

“When criminals of major economic crimes can be“ cleaned ”at small costs – less than one percent of the total loss – then not law enforcement agencies, but a legal discount,” he said.

Marcella and Ariyanto are suspected not only about the provision of legal assistance, but rather actively draw up a bribery scheme aimed at an obstacle in the process of law enforcement agencies. In such conditions, AFIF added: “Lawyers are no longer a defender of civil legal rights, but operators in removing corporate duties.”

According to AFIF, this scheme can be accused of a number of articles in the law on eradicating corruption. Among them is Article 12 a letter about bribery against state administrators, Article 21 regarding the legal process of Pintangan, and Article 55 of the Criminal Code regarding participation in criminal actions.

In addition, according to him, the maximum fine should be considered taking into account the huge cost of state loss and its system influence. Article 2 of the Law on Corruption provides a place for the application of the death penalty in cases with certain circumstances, including if it is done in an organized way and is harmful to public finances in large quantities.

Afif emphasized that the profession of a lawyer has large ethical and legal obligations.

“The enemy of the law is not only corruptors in state institutions, but also specialists of lawyers who lose ethics,” he said.

He also recalled that if the state wants to maintain its legal dignity, then it is necessary to take a decisive step.

“The law should not be a high joke. If the law is only sharp and bizarre, then justice is only anger that has not yet exploded, ”Afif said.

The investigator of the Prosecutor General again called three new suspects in the event of the alleged bribery and satisfaction related to the chairman of the Court of the South Jacabarta district. Three new suspects are a group of judges who decided a verdict about the case of damage to expression …
