JAKARTA: The recent arrest by the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) of four judges for alleged bribery pertaining to the acquittal of companies charged with corruption has prompted a call for stronger oversight of judicial institutions.
On April 14 and 15, AGO investigators arrested four judges previously assigned to the Central Jakarta District Court, namely Muhammad Arif Nuryanta, Agam Syarif Baharuddin, Ali Muhtarom and Djuyamto, for allegedly accepting bribes to acquit three palm oil companies in a crude palm oil (CPO) export corruption case.
