JAKARTA - Former Health Minister (Menkes) Siti Fadilah Supari was released from the Pondok Bambu Class I Rutan Pondok Bambu, East Jakarta, after serving a four-year prison sentence.
"Has been released today, Saturday, October 31, the assisted residents on behalf of Siti Fadilah Supari," said Head of Public Relations and Protocols of the Directorate General of PAS, Rika Aprianti in a written statement, quoted on Saturday, October 31.
He said, apart from having Siti serving a four-year sentence, he was also released because he had completed a fine and additional punishment in the form of replacement money that had been deposited to the state.
Furthermore, Rika explained that the former Minister of Health had been handed over from the Class I detention center to her legal counsel and family.
"The handover went smoothly, according to health protocols," he said.
It is known that Siti Fadilah was sentenced to 4 years in prison with a fine of IDR 200 million, a subsidiary of 2 months in prison by the Panel of Judges at the Corruption Court, Jakarta. The judge read out the verdict on June 16, 2017.
The judge said that Siti was proven to have abused her authority in the procurement of medical devices (medical equipment) in anticipation of the bird flu outbreak (KLB) in 2005 at the Health Problem Management Center (PPMK) of the Ministry of Health.
As a result of this abuse of authority, Siti has caused state financial losses of up to IDR 5.7 billion. In addition, he was also proven to have pocketed gratuity of Rp1.9 billion.
The decision was lighter than the demands of the KPK public prosecutor (JPU), namely 6 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 500 million, a subsidiary of six months in prison.
