Last year, the disgraced Supreme Court Justice, Justice Gazalba Saleh, who was supposedly involved in the allegation of case brokers that rocked the Supreme Court, was acquitted by the Panel of Judges of the notorious Corruption Court at the Bandung District Court. There was nothing surprising because this is not the first time this court has acquitted a graft defendant. KPK tried to appeal, but the Supreme Court, unsurprisingly, decided in favor of the previous court decision. Gazalba Saleh is free once again, but not for long. KPK put Saleh back several months later in another case of allegedly receiving grafts and committing money laundering. The trial started earlier this month. However, to everyone’s surprise, this week the Panel of Judges consider that the KPK have no authority to prosecute Saleh and therefore Saleh must be acquitted, again. What a mess.
