| THE outgoing chief of Indonesia's Supreme Court Friday denied corruption was rife at the highest level of the country's judicial system, despite a slew of disputed decisions and graft allegations.
Mr Bagir Manan, 67, retired from the nation's top judicial post after a seven-year-stint amid two ongoing cases into bribes and embezzlement involving court officials.
The powerful Corruption Eradication Commission in June launched an investigation into the alleged embezzlement of court fees. The probe included the examination of a personal bank account belonging to Mr Manan.
Mr Manan has also reportedly been named in a court case as the intended recipient of bribes that were allegedly handed to court staff in 2005 by businessman Probosutedjo, a step brother of former dictator Suharto.
'Those accusations that I have received bribes don't make sense at all and no one has ever proven that I've taken a bribe', Mr Manan told foreign journalists at a meeting to mark his retirement.
'In the Supreme Court, up to this day not... a single one of my judges has been put on trial'.
Indonesia's Supreme Court is widely seen as tangled up in the institutionalised corruption that is rife throughout the court system. It has been criticised for a series of baffling decisions.
