The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated billions of rupiah in connection with the alleged receipt of gratuities to ensnare the former Regent of Langkat Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin. The confiscation was carried out to complete the evidence in this case.

"The investigative team also confiscated Rp8.6 billion as evidence," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, January 20.

The money was confiscated by investigators from Terbit's account and other parties. After the confiscation was carried out, the investigators then conducted an analysis so that it made light of the case being investigated.

Previously, the KPK had named Terbit as a suspect in the alleged gratification and participated during the process of procuring goods and services. This determination is the development of the bribery case that has ensnared him.

The anti-corruption commission is still investigating allegations of gratification and participating in the process of procuring goods and services. In these two allegations, Terbit is suspected of violating Article 12B and Article 12i of the Corruption Crime Law.

Meanwhile, in the bribery case, he was sentenced to 9 years in prison by the Jakarta Corruption Court. Terbit was proven to have accepted bribes related to project work in Langkat Regency.

"Sentenced the defendant one to publish a Wind War Plan with a prison sentence of nine years and a fine of Rp. 300 million, subsidiary to a replacement sentence of five months in prison," said Chief Judge Djumyanto at the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor), Wednesday, October 19.

The judge also sentenced him to an additional five years in the form of revocation of political rights. Terbit will not be able to occupy public office after being released from prison.

Apart from Terbit, the judge also sentenced the Village Head of Balai Kasih Iskandar Warin Angin to seven years and six months in prison. Both are believed to have jointly committed corrupt practices.

"And a fine of Rp. 300 million, subsidiary to five months in prison," said Djumayanto.
