Confirming what most of the public already believed, the Constitutional
Court declared on Wednesday that the extortion case against Corruption
Eradication Commission deputies Chandra M Hamzah and Bibit Samad Rianto
had been fabricated.
The court said the phone conversations
secretly taped by the commission, known as the KPK, that had indicated
a plot hatched by people within the National Police and Attorney
General’s Office (AGO) to fabricate charges against the KPK deputies,
were valid.
“Those law enforcers who fabricated the case are animals,” said Constitutional Court head judge Mahfud MD.
Police
had contrived the bogus charges against the KPK officials primarily
because of a fierce political rivalry between their institutions — the
KPK, the police and the prosecutor’s office, he said.
“It
might be the police, or the prosecutors, or the judge. God has said
that those with heart who fail to use it to understand the truth; those
with eyes who fail to see the truth; and those with ears who don’t
listen to the truth, are animals,” Mahfud said.
He added that he would speak about “animals” during the religious day celebrations at the University of Indonesia on Friday.
The
court made its declaration during a ruling which annuls an article in
the KPK law governing the automatic dismissal of KPK commissioners
tried with a criminal offense.
