JAKARTA - Finance Director of PT Asuransi Jasindo for the period January 2008 - September 2016 Solihah was sentenced to four years in prison plus a fine of Rp. 300 million, subsidiary to three months in prison because he was proven to have participated in receiving gratuities from a number of parties.

"Declaring that the defendant Solihah has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption together and continuing as the sole indictment of the public prosecutor. Sentencing the defendant Solihah to four years in prison and a fine of Rp. 300 million, provided that if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced with imprisonment for three months," said Chief Justice Rianto Adam Ponto at the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor) reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 12.

The verdict is lower than the demands of the KPK Public Prosecutor (JPU) who requested that Solihah be sentenced to 5.5 years in prison plus a fine of Rp. 500 million, subsidiary to five months in prison.

"The aggravating thing is that the defendant's actions were carried out when the state was active in eradicating corruption. The mitigating thing was that the defendant was polite at the trial, the defendant was a housewife who had family responsibilities, the defendant regretted all his actions and promised not to repeat them again," added the judge.

In the same case, the panel of judges also sentenced the President Director of PT Ayodya Multi Sarana and PT Altona Kiagus Emil Fahmy Cornain.

"Declaring that the defendant Kiagus Emil Fahmy Cornain has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption together and continuing as the sole indictment of the public prosecutor. Sentencing the defendant Kiagus Emil Fahmy Cornain with a prison sentence of four years and a fine of Rp. 300 million, provided that if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced with imprisonment for three months," said Judge Rianto Adam Ponto.

Kiagus Emil is also required to pay a replacement money of the amount of money he enjoys.

"Punishing the defendant to pay compensation to the state as much as 571,043.67 US dollars or converted to a rupiah currency of Rp5,267,989,599 minus the money that had been confiscated from the return by the defendant in the amount of Rp800 million so that the replacement money that the defendant had to pay was Rp4,467,989,596 at the latest within one month after the court's decision obtained permanent legal force," added the judge.

If Kiagus Emil does not pay the replacement money within one month after the court's decision has permanent legal force, then his property will be confiscated by the prosecutor and auctioned off to cover the replacement money.

"In the event that the convict does not have sufficient assets to pay the replacement money, he will be sentenced to imprisonment for 1 year," said the judge.

In this case, Solihah and Kiagus Emil were deemed proven proven to have received gratuities together with the President Director of PT Asuransi Jasindo for the period May 2011 - September 2016 Budi Thajono.

The receipt was the first, receiving 3,263,868.32 US dollars in 2008 - 2012 through Solihah from Total Risk Solutions (London) Ltd. (TRS), STRS/LRS, ARM Pte. Ltd, Kong Thye Wei and Pana Harison (Asia) P L.

Second, receipts through Kiagus Emil Fahmy Cornain's holding account amounted to 1,520,266.06 US dollars from cooperation with TRS and STRS/LRS.

Third, the receipt from the insurance agent PT Jasindo Is Hariyanto through Tisna Palwani amounted to Rp6.521 billion.

The total money of 4,783,951.38 US dollars and Rp6,521 billion (or a total of around Rp50.4 billion) was used to buy assets in the form of seven apartment units and one unit of land and building in the name of their family, namely Mumeiana Widyowati (wife of Budi Tjahjono) and Mudi Hapsari, Dina Ardananeswari and Dimaz Wibisono, namely Budi Tjahjono's children.

Since Budi Tjahjono together with Solihah and Kiagus Emil Fahmy Cornain received the money, the three have not reported to the KPK until a time limit of 30 days since the receipt even though there is no legal basis for rights according to law.
