Manado State University (UNM) academic Prof DR OC Kaligis SH MH stated that corruption has become a cancer of crime.

Starting from police and civil investigators, prosecutors to the courts. “There are many ways played by judicial officers.

Prosecutors can choose to choose who is made a suspect or reduced to witness or not investigated at all,” said Prof. OC Kaligis in Jakarta, (11/11/2024).

Kaligis said which confiscated evidence was castrated, as if it went into the investigators’ pockets, how could the judge play, like a civil case that should have won then was ultimately declared inadmissible.

In corruption cases at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), judges usually decide according to the KPK’s demands and set aside trial evidence in accordance with article 185 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code.

For example, the case of the former Governor of Papua, Lucas Enembe, consisted of 184 witnesses.

But only 19 witnesses were examined even though all the witnesses testified under oath that Lucas Enembe had never received bribes.

He said that people’s memories were still fresh about how passionately President Prabowo Subianto repeatedly called for: stop corruption.

However, what happened was that three judges and one Supreme Court (MA) official, a lawyer and a team were involved in bribing the judge in the case of convict Ronald Tannur at the Surabaya District Court, East Java.

“The evidence that was confiscated was approximately IDR 1 trillion, 51 kg of gold, it is said that the money was deposited by the judges and perhaps only took it after they retired,” said the academic who attended the UN General Assembly which discussed the 2003 Convention against Corruption.
