A total of four defendants in the illegal fertilizer case of Pringsewu who are high-ranking officials of PT Gahendra Abadi Jaya have undergone a period of confinement after the decision of the Supreme Court (MA). However, the four of them have not fulfilled their obligations to pay the fine.

"We will carry out the execution immediately," said the Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the Lampung High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) Kandra Buana in Bandarlampung, Monday, June 26, confiscated by Antara.

"We have received the excerpt for the detention period which was decided by the Supreme Court to have passed their detention, but we are still executing the files. Followed by executing the fines of the four defendants," he continued.

Previously, the Supreme Court decided to refuse repairs to the appeal filed by the prosecutor in the Pringsewu illegal fertilizer case.

The panel of judges led by Surya Jaya and two members of Prim Haryadi and Yohanes Priyana decided to reject the verdict of the case.

In the previous prosecutor's demands, the defendants were sentenced to 8 months in prison with a fine of Rp. 5 million each, subsidiary to 3 months in prison.
