Indictment for the Corrupt Judges
Towards the end of 2023, Dini Sera Afrianti lost her life at the hands of her own lover, Gregorius Ronald Tannur. This case was previously unknown to the public until it was revealed on social media that Ronald was the son of Edward Tannur, a PKB politician and then member of the House of Representatives from East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). However, the public is forgetful, this case simply disappeared from the news. Nearly a year after Dini died, Ronald was acquitted because the prosecutors' charges were deemed unproven, but nothing is simple in Indonesia. In October 2024, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) named the Panel of Judges who examined the case as suspects for allegedly receiving bribes from Ronald's legal counsel. What a mess. The inquisition process took place at lightning speed, in just two months, this week, the disgraced judges finally became defendants.
