TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Justice Ethics Council established by the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission has dismissed judge Asmadinata for receiving bribe. The ruling was read by the Ethics Council Chairman I Made Tara in the Wiryono room at the Supreme Court main building on Wednesday, July 3.
Asmadinata was found to have violated judge code of ethics for making deliberate acquaintance or contact with parties involved in legal cases. "Judge Asmadinata is found guilty of accepting invitation to meet with the party which legal proceeding was under his authority," said Made after the trial.
Made added that judge Asmadinata's dismissal was effective from the time of the verdict reading. "The person in question could not come up with new evidence on his defense and continued to deny all facts from the Supreme Court's investigation team," Made said in the trial.
