The team is tasked with reviewing the ongoing reforms and formulating new policies for speeding them up.
Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Mahfud MD announced the formation of the new team in a statement released on Saturday .
Comprising four working groups, the new team will not only focus on reforming the judiciary and the criminal justice system, but also find more effective ways to curb and prevent corruption through agrarian and natural resources reforms, as well as closing legal loopholes. Around three months later, the KPK arrested another justice, Gazalba Saleh of the Supreme Court’s criminal chamber, also on allegations of accepting bribes in exchange for convicting an Intidana executive over falsifying documents.
The KPK also launched a separate investigation after it found indications that the suspects in the Intidana case were also part of a bribery scheme involving a hospital in South Sulawesi. For years, the Supreme Court had long resisted external supervision from the Judicial Commission. This was exacerbated in 2015, when several Supreme Court justices filed a petition for judicial review at the Constitutional Court, which ruled to strip the commission of its authority to appoint judges to district courts, religious courts and administrative courts.
