Susanto/PHOTO fake doctor trial: AM Sby-VOI

The panel of judges finally sentenced Susanto to three years and six months in prison for fake doctors at a clinic owned by PT Pelindo Husada Citra (PHC).

The chairman of the Panel of Judges, Tongani, declared Susanto legally guilty and was proven guilty of fraud forging documents as stated in Article 378 of the Criminal Code.

"The defendant was sentenced to three years and six months in prison," said Tongani, while reading the verdict in an online verdict hearing at the Surabaya District Court (PN), Wednesday, October 4.

As for the aggravating things, the defendant Susanto was considered to be disturbing the community and tarnished the medical profession. This led to distrust in the eyes of the community, and the condolences were convicted in the same case.

"Meanwhile, it was mitigating, because the defendant admitted his mistake, making it easier for the examination at trial," he said.

The verdict was lighter than the prosecutor's demands against Susanto for four years in prison. After the verdict, Judge Tongani asked Susanto whether he accepted the verdict or would file an appeal.

"Allow us to think about it again, Your Honor," said Susanto, via video call from the Medaeng Detention Center in Surabaya.

Previously, Susanto's name suddenly became a hot topic of conversation on social media. This is because the action is as a doctor who practices at Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene (OHIH), a K3 clinic in the Pertamina EV IV Cepu working area.

For two years, the high school graduate also carried out actions like a professional doctor at a clinic owned by PT Pelindo Husada Citra (PHC). Of course, all the actions he takes to patients carelessly, aka only with instincts.

Susanto's thoughts were first exposed when the hospital was about to extend her contract. Various irregularities also surfaced, especially regarding administration.

Sure enough, Susanto's cover was finally exposed. He was later reported and he was convicted of a trial at the Surabaya District Court (PN).
