JAKARTA - The Corruption Court of Justice at the Central Jakarta District Court ordered prosecutors to take legal action against the company owner involved in the case of alleged bribery of the CPO corruption case.
Member Judge Andi Saputra said in the case, the defendant Muhammad Syafei as Head of Social Security Legal Wilmar Group was an employee of the Wilmar Group who helped bribe judges or court officials with a total of 4 million US dollars (USD) or equivalent to Rp. 60 billion for the benefit of the company where he worked.
"This is based on the limits of reasonable reasoning and the evidence revealed at the trial," said Judge Andi in the reading of the verdict at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, March 3, reported by ANTARA.
Thus, he said, it was appropriate for the Attorney General's investigators to complete the case by conducting legal proceedings against the principal or beneficial owner of the Wilmar Group, Musim Mas Group, and Permata Hijau Group companies related to the bribery case against the judges.
The goal, he continued, is so that the parties responsible for the bribery case will be revealed.
In the letter from lawyer Marcella Santoso to lawyer Ariyanto revealed at the trial, Andi revealed that a common thread could be taken from one of Marcella and Ariyanto's plans, namely by protecting the main parties, namely Wilmar's clients, the Musim Mas Group, and the Permata Hijau Group, so that they are not dragged into the bribery case.
The judge also revealed the defendant's lawyer Marcella Santoso's letter to Ariyanto Bakri. The letter contains Marcella's plan so that the owners of the Wilmar Group, the Musim Mas Group, and the Permata Hijau Group are not dragged into this bribery case.
"Thus, the revocation of the BAP by witness Marcella Santoso at the trial is part of the manifestation of this evil intention with the aim of obscuring the legal facts of who is the actual bribe giver," he said.
In this case, Syafei was sentenced to 6 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 300 million, in addition to 100 days in prison, after being proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing a criminal act, by helping to give a bribe worth Rp. 60 billion to the judge, together with Marcella and Ariyanto.
The bribe money was intended for judges and court officials who handled the CPO corruption case worth 2 million US dollars, while the rest was enjoyed by Marcella and Ariyanto, each 1 million US dollars.
For his actions, Syafei was proven to have violated Article 6 paragraph (1) letter ajuncto Article 18 of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 jo. Article 56 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
