JAKARTA - Gregorius Ronald Tannur's mother, Merizka Widjaja, was found guilty of having an evil consensus in a 'confining' murder case involving her child. Thus, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) sentenced him to 4 years in prison.

"(Demanding) to sentence the defendant Meirizka Widjaja to a prison sentence of 4 years reduced completely by the length of time the defendant was detained," said the prosecutor reading out the charges at the trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Wednesday, May 28.

Not only that, the prosecutor also demanded Meirizka to pay a fine of Rp. 750 million. If it is not paid, then it will be replaced with imprisonment for 6 months.

The charge was dropped because the prosecutor considered that Merizka Widjaja's actions had fulfilled the elements of Article 6 Paragraph 1 letter a or Article 5 Paragraph 1 letter a in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.

Meirizka is one of the parties involved in trying to get Ronald Tannur free from legal bondage. The trick, by giving a sum of money as a bribe so that Gregorius Ronald Tannur is not punished.

Based on the indictment, Meirizka Widjaja gave bribes to three judges at the Surabaya District Court in order to give acquittal. The value is Rp1 billion and SGD308 thousand.

The bribe money was given by Meirizka Widjaja through Lisa Rachmat as a lawyer from Ronald Tannur. Then, it was handed over to the judge of the Surabaya District Court who handled the Ronald Tannur case.

The three judges were Erintuah Damanik, Mangapul, and Heru Hanindyo. They are known to have also been found guilty in the bribery and gratification case related to Ronald Tannur's acquittal.
