JAKARTA - Three corporations are charged with criminal fines of Rp1 billion each in connection with the alleged corruption case over the management of investment funds at PT Tani Group Indonesia (TaniHub) in 2019-2023.
The three corporations in question include PT Tani Group Indonesia (PT TGI), PT Tani Hub Indonesia (PT THI), and PT Tani Supply Indonesia (PT TSI).
"Demand that the corporate defendants be found legally and convincingly guilty of committing the crime of corruption together, as charged in the primary indictment," said the Public Prosecutor (JPU) at the Attorney General's Office Dicky Haris when reading the indictment at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court (Jakpus), Monday, July 6, reported by ANTARA.
In addition to the fine, the three were also given additional penalties in the form of compensation consisting of PT TGI of IDR 23.09 billion; PT THI IDR 261.52 billion and PT TSI IDR 75.29 billion.
If the fine or substitute money is not paid, the JPU demands that the wealth or income of the corporate defendants can be confiscated and auctioned.
Before filing the lawsuit, the JPU considered several mitigating and weighting factors. The burdening thing is that the actions of the corporate defendants do not support the government's program in eradicating corruption, collusion, and nepotism.
In addition, the circumstances are burdensome for three corporations, namely the actions of the corporate defendants have caused financial losses to the state of 25 million US dollars (USD) or equivalent to Rp. 364.22 billion.
Meanwhile, there is no mitigating factor that is considered for the demands of the three corporations, among others because the act is believed to have been done consciously and as a result it has been known and desired by the defendants.
"The act is based on the perfect factor of intention. There is an intention and purpose," said the JPU.
The JPU believes that the three corporate defendants have violated the crime stipulated in Article 603 juncto Article 618 jo. Article 20 letter c of the National Criminal Code jo. Article 18 of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001.
In this case, the three corporations were charged with causing damage to state finances of 25 million dollars or the equivalent of Rp364.22 billion.
The state's losses are allegedly caused by the three corporations committing legal acts by enriching several parties, namely enriching PT TGI 25 million US dollars (USD) or Rp364.22 billion; Ivan Arie Sustiawan Rp2.29 billion; and Rp92.89 million.
Then, the funds were channeled to the entities PT TaniHub Indonesia for Rp263.91 billion and PT TaniSupply Indonesia for Rp77.22 billion.
Furthermore, funds from the two corporate entities were re-circulated with recipients including Pamitra Wineka worth Rp. 1.17 billion; Asti Setia Utami Rp. 28.58 billion; and PT Jaring Pangan Indonesia Rp. 1.93 billion.
For their actions, the three corporate defendants are threatened with criminal penalties as stipulated in Article 603 jo. Article 618 jo. Article 20 letter c of the National Criminal Code or Article 3 jo. Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001.
