Following an appeal by prosecutors, the Supreme Court on Tuesday (October 22) overturned the acquittal and sentenced Tannur to five years in prison for murder.
Deputy chairperson of Commission III of the House of Representatives, Ahmad Sahroni, called for the public disclosure of the motive behind the bribery of the Surabaya District Court judges.
He argued that the three judges had issued an unreasonable verdict, suggesting they had accepted billions of rupiah in bribes to influence the case.
"These three judges were the ones who delivered the unreasonable verdict in the Ronald Tannur case. So it is suspected that they were involved in bribery," he said in Jakarta on Thursday.
He also expressed support for the Attorney General's Office's efforts to expose the scandal that has tarnished the justice system. He said he is confident that they will uncover the mastermind behind the bribery case.
He further said he hopes that the Judicial Commission (KY) will improve its judicial oversight.
He described the bribery case as ironic as it was perpetrated by three judges from the same district court.
Sahroni expressed concern that similar cases involving other judges may be occurring but remain undetected. He warned that such actions would harm the public.
"Is it so easy to buy our law and justice? Therefore, the Judicial Commission must monitor the performance of judges more closely," he said.
He urged judges to maintain their integrity and conscience in carrying out their duties.
"To the judges, I ask you to uphold your integrity, professionalism, and conscience. The responsibilities of a judge's position will be accounted for in this world and the hereafter. Do not attempt to manipulate the system," Sahroni said.
