Politicians: Defamation

Police have leveled defamation charges against two members of the Judicial Commission (KY) – the government’s court watchdog – at the behest of controversial judge Sarpin Rizaldi who notoriously ordered that corruption charges be dropped against ‘fat bank account’ national police chief nominee Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan. Police acted on the complaint after the KY recommended that Sarpin be suspended for ethical misconduct over the ruling.
