JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has filed an appeal against lawyer Marcella Santoso in the corruption case of granting crude palm oil (CPO) export facilities and committing money laundering (TPPU) in 2025.
"We have filed an appeal. It was filed on May 25, 2026," said Acting Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office, Mochamad Jeffry, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, May 29.
He emphasized that the public prosecutor (JPU) actually respected the verdict of the panel of judges.
However, he continued, there were several considerations that became the basis for the JPU to appeal, one of which was that the decision had not fully accommodated aspects in the letter of demand.
"Especially related to the additional crime of revocation of the defendant's profession as a lawyer," he said.
Marcella is also reported to have appealed to the Supreme Court after her sentence was increased at the appeal level.
Previously, in the appeal ruling, the DKI Jakarta High Court Panel of Judges increased Marcel's sentence from 14 years to 15 years in prison.
In addition, a fine of Rp600 million was also imposed with the provision that if it is not paid, it will be replaced (subsider) with a prison sentence of 150 days.
Not only that, the panel of judges also decided that Marcella had to pay compensation in the amount of Rp. 21.6 billion in addition to 7 years in prison.
This amount is higher than the previous ruling, which was worth Rp16.25 billion in the form of a 6-year imprisonment.
The panel of judges stated that Marcella was found guilty of bribery and money laundering in common as in the first alternative indictment of the first and the second alternative indictment of the first.
