JAKARTA - Former Papua Governor Lukas Enembe was considered convoluted in giving testimony during the trial.

This is one of the burdensome considerations for the public prosecutor (JPU) in prosecuting Lukas Enembe with a prison sentence of 10 years and 6 months and a fine of Rp. 1 billion.

"The actions of the defendant Lukas Enembe did not support the government's program in efforts to eradicate corruption. The defendant was convoluted in giving information," said the prosecutor during a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, September 13.

Still, regarding burdensome considerations, the prosecutor also considered Lukas Enembe to be disrespectful during the trial.

Meanwhile, for mitigating matters, the prosecutor has two considerations. One of them is Lukas Enembe who was never convicted.

"The defendant has never been convicted. The defendant has family responsibilities," said the prosecutor.

Previously, Lukas Enembe was found guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption and gratification. Thus, the public prosecutor (JPU) charged him with imprisonment for 10 years and 6 months.

"Sentenced ten years and six months," said the prosecutor.

Not only criminal, but the prosecutor also demanded Lukas Enembe to pay a fine. The amount reached Rp1 billion.

"(Sanctions) a fine of Rp. 1 billion," said the prosecutor

In this case, Lukas Enembe was charged with violating Article 12 letter a or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes Jo.
