case broker


Explanation:

Ini istilah yang dipakai oleh The Jakarta Post, koran Indonesia berbahasa Inggris yang tertua (sepengetahuan saya).

Saya kira, orang seperti ini ada juga di dunia barat. Namun, karena sistemnya lebih ketat, ia amat jarang ada, sehingga belum ada istilah khususnya. Di Indonesia, tempat mereka tumbuh subur, ada sebutan lain yang bisa menyinggung banyak orang: markus (singkatan dari makelar kasus).

Dua referensi berikut membandingkan penamaan seorang calo perkara berinisial SJ.

Ref 1: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/04/14/case-broker-sj...
Police declared on Wednesday case broker Sjahril Djohan as a suspect in a bribery case after interrogating him since Tuesday.

Ref 2: http://galaknews.blogspot.com/2011_02_06_archive.html
Di sisi lain, Susno juga menyebut bahwa Syahril Johan seorang calo perkara. Hal ini dikemukakan Susno di dalam persidangan di Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan, Kamis (10/2), terkait dengan kasus korupsi PT SAL.


Kadang-kadang pengaruh si calo ini demikian besar; bahkan cederung menjadi case spinner, orang yang mempermainkan mana perkara menang mana perkara kalah.
