JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta High Court has increased the sentence against the inactive judge who gave a "free verdict" in the CPO corruption case, Djuyamto to 12 years in prison from 11 years in prison.
Presiding Judge Albertina Ho stated that Djuyamto's sentence was aggravated in line with the acceptance of the appeal request filed by the public prosecutor and his legal advisor.
"It is stated that Djuyamto has been proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing the crime of accepting bribes jointly as in the alternative indictment of the first sub-case," said Albertina, quoted from a copy of the ruling order confirmed by ANTARA, Friday, February 5.
Even though the length of the prison sentence imposed was aggravated, the fine imposed on Djuyamyo remained the same, namely Rp500 million, but the provision that if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced (subsider) with a lighter imprisonment, namely 140 days, from the previous 6 months.
The presiding judge added that the additional penalty in the form of payment of substitute money imposed on Djuyamto was also the same, namely, it was still Rp9.21 billion, but with a substitute penalty that was heavier, namely 5 years in prison, from the previous 4 years in prison.
Apart from Djuyamto, there are also other inactive judges who read their appeal decisions, namely Ali Muhtarom and Agam Syarief.
However, the sentence imposed on the two of them remains the same, namely 11 years in prison, a fine of Rp500 million and a substitute money of Rp6.4 billion subsider 4 years in prison.
However, for the criminal subsider fine to the two was changed at the appeal level to 140 days in prison, from the previous 6 months in prison.
The Jakarta PT Court of Justice stated that the three inactive judges were guilty of violating Article 6 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
In the case of alleged bribery of the decision to release (ontslag) the corruption case for the provision of crude palm oil export facilities (CPO) in 2023-2025, the three inactive judges were charged with receiving bribes worth the amount of substitute money imposed in the verdict.
The three judges are suspected of receiving bribes twice, which were received from Ariyanto, Marcella Santoso, Junaedi Saibih, and Syafei as advocates or parties representing the interests of corporate defendants in the CPO case, namely the Wilmar Group, Permata Hijau Group, and Musim Mas Group.
