The Indonesian – The verdict was read by presiding judge Deni Syahputra in a session held in courtroom Cakra 6 of the Medan Corruption Court, Thursday afternoon (November 6, 2025).
The panel of judges declared the defendant, who holds the status of a civil servant (PNS), guilty of committing corruption in the management of the Health Operational Assistance Fund (BOK) and the National Health Insurance (JKN) Capitation Fund for the 2024 Fiscal Year.
In his statement, the Head of KMMB North Sumatra, Sutoyo, S.H., urged the court to immediately implement the decision by detaining the defendant, who has not yet been detained, while the decision for the transfer of detention to Balige Class IIB Penitentiary has already been issued. “What is happening here?,” Sutoyo emphasized.
The defendant’s actions violated Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 Year 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption, as amended by Law Number 20 Year 2001.
According to him, the aggravating factor is that the defendant’s actions do not support the government’s spirit in eradicating corruption.
In his statement, Sutoyo added that a substitute clerk of the Medan District Court, identified by the initials BTRG, is suspected of delaying and withholding the execution of the defendant’s detention. Despite the Medan District Court judge’s decision clearly stating the transfer of detention from city detention to Balige Class IIB Penitentiary, the defendant has not been detained at all to date.
“We suspect that there is a substitute clerk of the Medan District Court, with the initials BTRG, who is trying to hold back and prolong the execution of the defendant’s detention, even though the judge’s panel has instructed to detain the defendant. If this is truly happening, the law enforcement system in this country is indeed deplorable,” he concluded.
At the end of his statement, Sutoyo said that he had reported the substitute clerk of the Medan District Court, with the initials BTRG, to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia as the internal supervisor and the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia as the external supervisor authorized to oversee the performance of judges and clerks in handling cases in court.
“Yes, we have reported the said clerk to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, in this case, the supervisory body (BAWAS), and the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia as external supervisors of judges and clerks, so that there will be no more case problems in court that can be interfered with. Let the supremacy of law truly stand as it should,” he closed. (Red)
