JAKARTA - The BUMN Ministry assesses that the sentence of life imprisonment for the four defendants in the corruption case of financial management and investment funds at PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) is a warning to all parties.
"A warning to all parties that the management of BUMN must be carried out cleanly and well," said Special Staff to the Minister of BUMN Arya Sinulingga in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, October 14.
The verdict, continued Arya, shows that clean-up steps in the BUMN environment are going well.
"So what the BUMN Ministry assessed a while ago, until reporting to the Prosecutor's Office turned out to be a true process, so what the BUMN Ministry has done is steps that have been proven in court," said Arya.
His party will continue to monitor the progress of the Jiwasraya case and hopefully produce the best. "If it is detrimental to the government, the state will be punished in accordance with what is applicable," said Arya.
Previously, expert on corruption and money laundering at Pakuan University, Yenti Garnasih, considered the verdict of the judge in the corruption case of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) to be extraordinary and deserves appreciation.
However, the verdict against the four defendants needed to be monitored by the public because the defendants could still take other legal measures.
"This decision is very bombastic, very spectacular. It is rare for a maximum decision to be handed down on a criminal act of corruption. However, remember this decision is not yet inconsistent (with permanent legal force). The public still has to guard this case," said Yenti.
On Monday, October 12, the panel of judges at the Jakarta Corruption Court sentenced Hendrisman Rahim to a life sentence for being convicted of corruption that cost state finances worth IDR 16.807 trillion in cases of corruption in managing funds and using investment funds at PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero).
Apart from Hendrisman, three other defendants, namely the Jiwasraya Finance Director for the January 2013-2018 period Hary Prasetyo, the Head of the Jiwasraya 2008-2014 Investment and Finance Division Syahmirwan and the Director of PT Maxima Integra Joko Hartomo Tirto were also sentenced to life sentences.
