Two defendants in the alleged credit corruption case at BRI Paguyangan Unit, Bumiayu, Brebes Regency, Central Java, in 2019-2020 which cost the state up to IDR 3.2 billion were sentenced to 6 years in prison.

The verdict read by Chief Justice Kadarwoko during a trial at the Semarang Corruption Court against the defendants Dini Setyowati and Hendri Wibowo was lighter than the prosecutor's demands for 7.5 years.

In addition to corporal punishment, the judge also imposed a fine of Rp. 300 million.

"To declare the defendant guilty of violating Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001," said Kadarwoko as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 26.

The judge also sentenced the two defendants to pay compensation for state losses, each defendant Dini Setyowati, amounting to Rp3.2 billion and Hendri Wibowo Rp48 million.

The defendant Dini Setyowati is a BRI partner in charge of coordinating the citizen's credit application at the Paguyangan unit office.

The credit application for hundreds of residents is suspected of using incorrect or fictitious data.

Meanwhile, the defendant Hendri Wibowo is a credit mantri who approved the application for a loan from the residents through Dini Setyowati.

Based on this decision, both the prosecutor and the defendant still expressed their thoughts.
