In 2020, Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2020 concerning Guidelines for Criminalization Articles 2 and 3 of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes was established, which regulates the range of sentencing based on clarification of punishment covering state losses, aspects of error, aspects of impact, and aspects of the defendant's guilt. Therefore, judges as the spearhead of justice need to accommodate these fundamental values.

This can be seen in the judges' considerations that have not accommodated the values of certainty, justice and also the benefits of the law itself. Moreover, the High Court did not show the severity of the crime, instead it reduced the sentence. Whereas the suspect's status as a law enforcer or a prosecutor who should not violate a special obligation of office.
