A state prosecutor from the Attorney General’s Office reads out sentence demands for defendant Joko Soegiarto Tjandra at the Jakarta Corruption Court in Central Jakarta on Thursday (4/3/2021). Joko Tjandra stood trial in two bribery cases, one related to bribery in the issuance of a Supreme Court legal opinion and another one related to the omission of his name from Interpol’s most-wanted list (DPO). Joko Tjandra was accused of bribing National Police chief of international relations division Insp. Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte and the police’s Criminal Investigation Department’s chief of supervision Brig. Gen. Prasetijo Utomo via businessman Tommy Sumardi.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — A more measurable and comprehensive guideline to interpret the articles in Law No. 20/2001 on corruption eradication (Corruption Law) is needed to minimize disparities in indictments and court rulings for corruption cases. This step should be taken to synchronize law enforce-ment efforts and uphold justice.
