When a judge takes bribes


Courtroom scandal: The Judicial Commission said it would launch an ethics probe into justice Surajad that was separate from the KPK’s criminal investigation. —The Jakarta Post/ANN

The recent arrest of Supreme Court justice Sudrajad Dimyati by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for alleged bribery has exposed the failure of the court in curbing judicial corruption.

Sudrajad was named a suspect early on Friday for allegedly taking bribes relating to a civil case handled by the Supreme Court, along with nine other people following a series of KPK raids in Jakarta and Semarang in Central Java.
