JAKARTA - The Ethics Council of the Indonesian Constitutional Court declared here on Friday that suspended chief justice Akil Mochtar had violated the code of ethics and conduct. "He has been found guilty of violating the code of ethics and conduct; in view of this, (the Ethics Council) has given him a dishonorable discharge sanction," the Council`s chairman, Harjono, said at a press conference.
Among the violations Akil Mochtar had committed while holding the office of chief justice, Harjono stated, were taking trips abroad without notifying the secretary general, including one trip to Singapore on Sept. 21, 2013, and failing to report ownership of his Toyota Crown Athlete car to the traffic police.
Harjono noted that Akil had also used his chauffeur`s name to hide his ownership of the Mercedes car and had held an illicit meeting with an interested party, known as CHN, on July 9, 2013.
Akil Mochtar had also appointed people to the panel of judges to serve his own interests and had ordered his secretary, YS, and his chauffeur, DYN, to deposit excessive funds into his personal account and to use their personal accounts for receiving an excessive amount of money.
Harjono said Akil Mochtar had also been found guilty of receiving funds from parties whose cases were being processed by the court. Akil Mochtar was also implicated in a drug case when narcotics were found in his office, he stated. Following the decision, the Council will later request President Yudhoyono to formally discharge him from his office.
The Council was established following Akil Mochtar`s recent arrest by the Corruption Eradication Commission for allegedly receiving bribes linked to disputes over the results of elections for the Gunung Mas district head in Central Kalimantan and the Lebak district head in Banten.
