(Jakarta Globe) Sutan Bhatoegana to Pretrial Motion Against KPK

12/12/2018



Former state legislator Sutan Bhatoegana is the latest corruption suspect to announce he plans to file a pretrial motion against Indonesia’s anti-graft agency.

Sutan, who was named suspect in May 2014 and arrested on Feb. 2, will challenge the Corruption Eradication Commission’s (KPK) decision to name him a suspect, his lawyer said on Thursday.

The pretrail motion is the third to be filed against the KPK since the South Jakarta District Court ruled in favor of Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan on Feb. 16. The court revoked Budi’s status as a suspect and ruled his naming was illegitimate.

Sutan has appointed Razman Arif Nasution, who represented Budi during his pretrial motion, to handle his case. Razman said a press conference would be held to share further details.

Sutan — a former legislator with the Democratic Party — has been accused of taking bribes when he chaired the House of Representatives’ oversight commission for energy in 2013.

Former religious affairs minister Suryadharma Ali and Fuad Amin Imron, a former speaker of the Bangkalan Legislative Assembly, are also preparing to file pre-trial motions.

Acting KPK chairman Taufiequrachman Ruki said on Wednesday he was preparing the agency’s legal experts and investigators for a barrage of legal challenges from corruption suspects.
