The sole judge of the South Jakarta District Court (PN Jaksel) has\naccepted part of the pre-trial application filed by the Secretary\nGeneral (Sekjen) of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI),\nIndra Iskandar. Indra\u2019s suspect status in the alleged corruption case\nconcerning the procurement of furnishings for DPR members\u2019 official\nresidences in the 2020 fiscal year has been overturned.<\/p>\n
\u201cRuling, one, the applicant\u2019s pre-trial request is partially\ngranted,\u201d stated the sole judge Sulistiyanto Rokhmad Budiarto while\nreading the pre-trial verdict at the South Jakarta District Court, Pasar\nMinggu, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (14\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
The judge declared that the KPK had acted arbitrarily in designating\nIndra as a suspect. The judge stated that the suspect designation lacks\nbinding legal force.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeclaring the respondent\u2019s act of designating the applicant as a\nsuspect based on Investigation Order letter number\nSprin.Dik\/13\/DIK.00\/01\/01\/2024 dated 19 January 2024 and Notification of\nCommencement of Investigation letter number B\/41\/DIK.00\/23\/01\/2024 dated\n22 January 2024 as an arbitrary act,\u201d said the judge.<\/p>\n
The judge opined that Indra\u2019s suspect designation was not carried out\nwith the fulfilment of the minimum requirement of two valid pieces of\nevidence. The judge also opined that Indra had not been examined as a\nprospective suspect before being designated as a suspect in the\ncase.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeclaring invalid and without binding legal force the designation as\na suspect by the respondent against the applicant Indra Iskandar related\nto the implementation of the procurement of furnishings for DPR members\u2019\nofficial residences in the 2020 fiscal year,\u201d stated the judge.<\/p>\n
In this case, the KPK had designated DPR RI Secretary General Indra\nIskandar as a suspect. However, Indra has not been detained by the KPK.\nIndra was designated as a suspect along with six other individuals.<\/p>\n
The KPK had previously explained the reason for not detaining Indra.\nThe KPK stated that it was still completing documents related to state\nlosses.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet. We\u2019re still like this. The DPR Secretary General case.\nRegarding the DPR Secretary General case, we\u2019re completing it. We\u2019re\ncompleting the documents for calculating the state losses,\u201d said Acting\nDeputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, at\nthe parliamentary complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday\n(20\/8).<\/p>\n
For information, the KPK is investigating the alleged corruption case\nrelated to furnishings for DPR members\u2019 official residences in the 2020\nfiscal year. The KPK stated that there were allegations of price markups\nin this case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe case, if I\u2019m not mistaken, involves price markups,\u201d said the\nDeputy Chairman of the KPK at that time, Alexander Marwata, at the KPK\nbuilding, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (6\/3).<\/p>\n
Alexander did not explain in detail the total budget that was\ninflated. He mentioned that the prices used in the project procurement\nwere allegedly made higher than market prices.<\/p>\n
The project is said to be worth Rp 120 billion. The losses in this\ncase are alleged to reach tens of billions of rupiah.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpr-secretary-general-indra-iskandar-wins-pre-trial-hearing-kpk-suspect-status-overturned-1776142254", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
