"The convict will serve an eight-year prison sentence reduced while in custody and a fine of Rp. 300 million on the condition that if the fine is not paid, he will be subject to a penalty in lieu of fines in the form of imprisonment for three months," said Acting KPK spokesperson for prosecution Ali Fikri in a statement. he wrote to reporters, Friday, February 5.

"If the property is insufficient to pay the replacement money, he will be sentenced to imprisonment for two years," said Ali.
