Sunat Dana Reses, Former Treasurer Of East Lombok Setwan Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison

The Mataram District Court (PN) sentenced the former treasurer of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of East Lombok Regency, Zulfaedy.

The judge in his ruling stated that the defendant Zulfaedy was found guilty of circumculating the 2019-2020 recess tax dues for personal gain.

"The defendant Zulfaedy was sentenced to three years in prison," said Chief Justice Isrin Surya Kurniasih when reading the verdict of the defendant Zulfaedy at the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Thursday, January 11, which was confiscated by Antara.

In addition to imprisonment, the judge also imposed a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to three months in prison.

The judge determined the verdict by stating that the defendant's act of cutting the recess tax fee worth Rp343 million has been proven to have violated the public prosecutor's subsidiary charges.

The indictment relates to Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001.

Thus, the judge charged the defendant to pay compensation for state financial losses worth Rp343 million, a subsidiary of two years in prison.

The judge determined the replacement money by stating that the defendant had abused the authority of the position and used the recess tax fee for personal gain.

"In the facts of the trial, it was revealed that there was evidence of transactions, expert statements and letters stating that the defendant had enjoyed the money, resulting in state financial losses in the regions," said the judge.

In the verdict, the judge determined that the detention period that the defendant had served was deducted entirely from the sentence imposed.

"Straightly determine the defendant to remain in the state detention center," said Isrin.

Previously, the prosecutor asked the judge to sentence him to five years and six months in prison and a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to six months in prison.

The prosecutor also charged compensation for state financial losses worth Rp343 million, a subsidiary of four years in prison.

The prosecutor demanded this by stating that the defendant's actions were proven to have violated the primary indictment related to Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001.
