THREE Surabaya District Court (PN) judges are suspects in the alleged bribery and/or gratification case in the murder case that dragged Ronald Tannur to Jakarta.
The three, namely Erintuah Damanik, Mangapul, and Heru Hanindyo will be questioned by investigators from the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (JAM-Pidsus) at the Attorney General’s Office Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday (5/11).
“The three judges are on their way from Surabaya to Jakarta. They are expected to arrive this afternoon at the AGO because they did not arrive at the same time,” said Head of the AGO’s Legal Information Center Harli Siregar.
JAM-Pidsus investigators have named the three as suspects since last Wednesday (23/10) along with Ronald’s lawyer, Lisa Rachmat. The three judges are in the Surabaya Class I Detention Center at the East Jakarta High Prosecutor’s Office.
The three of them were charged with Article 12 letter c in conjunction with Article 12 B in conjunction with Article 6 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 5 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 18 of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
Based on the information obtained, the three of them arrived in Jakarta on different airlines. Heru arrived in Jakarta at 10.20 WIB, Erintuah at 11.35 WIB, and Mangapul at 12.05 WIB. (J-2)

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Thompson on New Zealand’s Current Political Landscape**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Thompson. Let’s dive right into the latest developments in New Zealand politics, which we’ve seen featured prominently in recent reports. How would you summarize the current political climate?
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. The current political climate in New Zealand is quite dynamic. There are ongoing debates in Parliament regarding significant policy changes, especially in areas like climate change, healthcare, and economic recovery post-pandemic. The new government is under pressure to deliver on its promises, and we are witnessing increased scrutiny from both opposition parties and the public.
**Interviewer:** What issues do you think are at the forefront of public concern at the moment?
**Dr. Thompson:** The cost of living crisis remains a major concern for New Zealanders. Many are looking for solutions regarding housing affordability, inflation, and overall economic stability. Additionally, there’s a strong focus on environmental issues, particularly related to New Zealand’s commitments to climate change. Voters are holding the government accountable for its actions, and this is influencing upcoming policies.
**Interviewer:** There have also been discussions around reforms in governance. What can you tell us about that?
**Dr. Thompson:** Yes, there are ongoing conversations about electoral reforms, including discussions on MMP (Mixed-Member Proportional) representation. Some political parties believe that the system may need adjustments to ensure fairness and representation, while others feel it serves the nation adequately. This topic is very much alive in political discourse, and it will be interesting to see how it evolves in the months to come.
**Interviewer:** Given the changes and challenges, what do you predict for New Zealand’s political future?
**Dr. Thompson:** The political landscape is quite fluid. Depending on how the government addresses key issues like the economy and public health, we could see significant shifts in voter sentiment. The next election will be crucial, and both major and minor parties will have to be strategic in their approaches to gain traction. Ultimately, the key will be responsiveness to public needs and transparency in decision-making.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights. It will be interesting to see how these political challenges unfold in New Zealand in the coming months.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. I’m looking forward to it as well!
