BENGKULU - The former chairman of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) Bengkulu was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the alleged corruption case of Bengkulu Province KONI grant funds in 2020.

The panel of judges at the Bengkulu Tipikor District Court, chaired by judge Fitrijal Yanto and the Bengkulu Public Prosecutor, charged the defendant Mufran Imron, the former chairman of the Bengkulu Province KONI, with a criminal sentence of 12 years in prison.

Mufran is also required to pay a fine of Rp. 500 million, subsidiary to 1 year in prison plus pay a replacement fee of Rp. 11 billion and if it is not paid, it is replaced with a criminal sentence of 6 years in prison.

Then the defendant Hirwan Fuadi who is the former treasurer of the Provincial KONI was charged with a criminal sentence of 5 years and 6 months in prison and a fine of Rp. 500 million, subsidiary of 6 months in prison.

Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of Bengkulu, Dewi Kemala Sari said that the aggravating thing for the defendant Hirwan Fuadi, the former treasurer of the Provincial KONI, was because he did not support the government's program in eradicating corruption.

Meanwhile, the aggravating thing for the defendant, Mufran Imron, the former chairman of the Bengkulu Province KONI, was because the person concerned was complicated in the trial. The defendant also did not admit his actions and did not pay the state financial losses at all.

"In particular, the defendant Mufran Imron has a higher demand than the defendant Hirwan Fuadi because the defendant is complicated in giving statements at trial and does not admit his actions," Dewi said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 29.

According to him, based on the facts of the trial, the two defendants suspected of corruption in the Bengkulu Province KONI grant in 2020 were proven to have legally violated Article 2 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes junto article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code.

After listening to the reading of the Bengkulu District Attorney's Office, the panel of judges at the Bengkulu Tipikor District Court decided that the trial would be resumed in January 2022 with the agenda of hearing the defense memorandums of the two defendants.
