NORTH LOMBOK - The implementer of the dock construction project in the Gili Air tourist area, North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Fiscal Year 2017, Edi SA Rahman, was demanded by the Public Prosecutor for 6 years in prison.

"We hereby request the Panel of Judges to issue a verdict against the defendant Edi SA Rahman with a criminal sentence of 6 years in prison," said Fajar Alamsyah Malo on behalf of the public prosecutor's team in the trial of Edi SA Rahman's demands at the Mataram Tipikor District Court, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, June 14.

The Public Prosecutor in his claim asked the Panel of Judges to also impose a criminal fine on the defendant Edi SA Rahman of Rp. 100 million, subsidiary of 3 months in prison.

The Public Prosecutor stated that the defendant was found guilty of violating Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20/2001 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31/1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption, according to the subsidiary indictment.

By including Article 18 regarding state losses, the Public Prosecutor asked the Panel of Judges to also impose the burden on the defendant to pay compensation of Rp. 617.3 million.

In the description of the demands, Edi SA Rahman, who acts as the recipient of the power of attorney from the Director of PT Gelora Megah Sejahtera, Suwandi, was declared the party responsible for the emergence of state losses of IDR 782 million.

The emergence of losses from the dock construction project in the Gili Air tourist area at the North Lombok Regency Transportation, Maritime and Fisheries Service, with a contract value of Rp. 6.28 billion, was proven by a construction expert study.

It was found that there was a lack of work volume with a compensation value of Rp. 98.138 million and an overpayment of three items worth Rp. 684.238 million.

Furthermore, the prosecutor in the agenda of this follow-up trial also submitted demands for the defendant Suwandi, the Director of PT Gelora Megah Sejahtera.

In the case of Suwandi who authorized Edi SA Rahman to work on the project, the prosecutor asked the Panel of Judges to impose a sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison and a fine of Rp. 50 million, subsidiary to 3 months in prison.

To Suwandi, the prosecutor also asked the Panel of Judges to charge Rp40 million to compensate the state for losses. The replacement amount is in accordance with the value that Kelvin received from Edi SA Rahman as the cost of borrowing the company flag.

However, because Suwandi had deposited the replacement money into the prosecutor's account, the Public Prosecutor considered it a good faith effort to recover state losses.

The prosecutor sees the effort to recover state losses by the defendant Suwandi as a consideration that eases the demands.

Therefore, the prosecutor in Suwandi's claim declared him guilty according to the subsidiary indictment, Article 3 Juncto Article 18 of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 20/2001 concerning Amendments to Indonesian Law Number 31/1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes.
