Former Supreme Court Secretary Nurhadi Ordered to Pay Rp137.1 Billion Restitution

Jakarta — Former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Nurhadi has been ordered to pay restitution totalling Rp137.1 billion in a case involving alleged receipt of gratifications and money laundering offences.

“We request the judges to impose an additional penalty requiring the defendant to pay restitution of Rp137.1 billion,” said Public Prosecutor Rony Yusuf when reading the charge at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Friday, 13 March 2026.

Should Nurhadi fail to pay the restitution within one month after the decision becomes final and binding, his assets will be seized, confiscated, and auctioned to recover state financial losses. “In the event the convict does not possess sufficient assets to pay the restitution, this shall be replaced with imprisonment for three years,” the prosecutor added.

The prosecution stated that Nurhadi received gratifications worth Rp137.1 billion from various parties involved in proceedings before the court at first instance, appeal, cassation, and judicial review levels. These payments occurred during his tenure and after his retirement as Supreme Court Secretary.

Nurhadi received the gratifications through bank accounts in the names of his son-in-law Rezky Herbiyono and several others, including Calvin Pratama, Soepriyo Waskita Adi, and Yoga Dwi Hartiar.

The gratifications came from multiple sources. Among them were payments from PT Sukses Abadi Bersama owner Hindria Kusuma; PT Matahari Kahuripan Indonesia Commissioner Bambang Harto Tjahjono (deceased); and PT Sukses Abadi Bersama, which provided funds totalling Rp11.03 billion between 22 July 2013 and 24 November 2014.

These funds were subsequently used to purchase land, buildings, and vehicles.

For the gratification offence, Nurhadi is charged with violating Article 12B read together with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law read together with Article 127 Paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. For the money laundering offence, he is charged with violating Article 607 Paragraph (1) Subparagraph A read together with Article 127 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.

In a previous verdict, Nurhadi received a six-year prison sentence after being found guilty of receiving bribes totalling Rp35.726 billion from PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal (MIT) Managing Director Hiendra Soenjoto between 2014-2016, related to the handling of two cases involving Hiendra. Nurhadi was also found to have received gratifications amounting to Rp13.787 billion from various parties involved in proceedings at multiple court levels.
