KPK Files Cassation Related To Rohadi's Gratification And Money Laundering Cases

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) filed a cassation in the case of gratification and money laundering (TPPU) former clerk to replace North Jakarta District Court, Rohadi.

"Prosecutor Trimulyono Hendradi has declared an appeal through the special clerk of the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court with the Defendant Rohadi," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday, December 15.

Ali said the appeal was made because some evidence in the form of Rohadi's assets had not been confiscated. Apart from that, there are other reasons that will later be written down in the memory of the prosecutor's team.

"The reasons for this legal effort are related to the existence of evidence in the form of several assets of Defendant Rohadi which were not confiscated for the state as requested in the prosecution team's letter," he said. This, continued Ali, is solely as an effort to provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators through the confiscation of assets and asset recovery from the proceeds of criminal acts of corruption.

"The paradigm of handling corruption as an extraordinary crime is not only about enforcing the law for a sense of justice. But how law enforcement is also able to provide a deterrent effect to prevent similar acts from happening again," said Ali.

For information, the DKI Jakarta High Court (PT) sentenced Rohadi to four years in prison. This sentence is heavier than the first verdict at the Jakarta Corruption Court which was only 3.5 years in prison.

Next, Rohadi was sentenced to a fine of Rp. 300 million. Not only that, 38 pieces of evidence in the form of money, houses, land, cars and electronic goods were confiscated by the state.
