JAYAPURA (Yosefardi) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed to attend the pre-trial of infamous lawyer Otto Cornelis Kaligis at the South Jakarta District Court this morning (Aug. 18).
KPK Deputy Chief Johan Budi SP said that the KPK’s Legal Bureau is ready to face the pre-trial motion filed by OC Kaligis.
As reported earlier, presiding judge Suprapto at the South Jakarta District Court decided to delay the trial of a OC Kaligis’ pre-trial against KPK following the absence of KPK’s representative in said trial last week.
OC Kaligis filed a pre-trial motion to the South Jakarta District Court in order to cancel KPK’s decision on naming him as suspect.
Previously, KPK has named OC Kaligis as one of suspects in a bribery scandal implicating judges at the State Administrative Court (PTUN) of Medan and Governor of North Sumatra Gatot Pujo Nugroho. KPK even has detained OC Kaligis since July 14, 2015. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
