VIVAnews - Researcher at Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Febri Diansyah said he worries of the many not guilty verdicts passed over defendants of corruption cases. 

"We're sorry that more and more not guilty verdicts are passed over defendants of corruption cases at Anti-corruption courts in provinces," he told VIVAnews.

Febri said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) should appeal for cassation to the Supreme Court.

In addition, the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission must put emphasis on the elements of monitoring and assessment. "It is high time for the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission to size up judges of provincial Anti-corruption courts," he said.

In this case, Febri cited the case in Bandung Anti-corruption court, West Java, through which several defendants of corruption cases were found not guilty.

The latest being a case involving a Mayor of Bekasi, West Java, named Mochtar Muhammad, who was freed of any charges. In fact, prosecutors charged the defendant with 12 years of imprisonment and Rp300 million of fine.
