The KPK Public Prosecutor charged former Bandung Mayor Yana Mulyana with five years in prison and a fine of Rp. 200 million, a subsidiary of six months related to the Bandung Smart City project case for the procurement of CCTV and internet networks (ISP).

The prosecutor revealed that he was proven to have received gratuities in the form of money and facilities to Thailand from Benny as director of PT Sarana Mitra Adiguna (PT SMA), Andreas Guntoro as Vertical Slution Manager of PT SMA and Sony Setiadi as Director of PT Citra Jelajah Informatika (CIFO).

"Demanding that the panel of judges at the Corruption Court at the Bandung District Court declare that the defendant Yana Mulyana has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption," said KPK prosecutor Tony Indra at the Bandung District Court, West Java, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, November 29.

Tony revealed that based on the facts and evidence presented at the trial, the prosecutor asked the panel of judges to sentence the defendant to 5 years and a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to six months in prison.

"The defendant Yana Mulyana was sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of 200 million rupiah. Subsidiary to imprisonment for six months," he said in reading his demands.

He said there were several mitigating and burdensome things for the defendant. For mitigating the defendant, the KPK prosecutor assessed that Yana Mulyana had never been convicted, pleaded guilty, was polite, and respected the trial.

"Meanwhile, the aggravating thing is because the defendant does not support the government's program in eradicating corruption and the defendant is a regional head," he said.

In addition, the prosecutor sentenced the defendant Yana Mulyana to pay compensation of Rp455,770,000, 14,512 Singapore dollars, 645,000 Yen, 3,000 US dollars, and 15,360 Baht. Meanwhile, if the defendant is unable to pay, he will be subject to imprisonment.

"If the convict does not pay the replacement money within one month after the court's decision, he can still be replaced with imprisonment for 2 years," he said.

Yana Mulyana's sentence is higher than the other defendants, namely Kadishub Kota Bandung Dadang Darmawan and Sekdishub Kota Bandung Khairur Rijal who were charged with imprisonment for 4 years and a fine of Rp 200 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison in the case of receiving gratuities for the Bandung Smart City project for the procurement of CCTV and internet networks (ISP).

For his actions, Yana Mulyana was charged with the first alternative indictment, Article 12 a Junto Article 18 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
