JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Judge Riyadi Sunindyo at the South Jakarta District Court rejected a pre-trial petition filed by Suroso Atmo Martoyo, graft suspect and former Pertamina’s Director for Processing, against the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Judge Riyadi read the verdict in a trial this morning (Apr. 14). The judge accepted an exception from the KPK over a pre-trial petition filed by Suroso.

Previously, the South Jakarta District Court also rejected two other pre-trial petitions against KPK filed by Suryadharma Ali and Sutan Bhatoegana Siregar.
