JAKARTA - The panel of judges at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court sentenced Rafael Alun Trisambodo to 14 years in the case of alleged gratification and money laundering or money laundering.

Although, the former official of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance claimed to have contributed to the nation and state.

"The defendant rafael square trisambodo above is sentenced to 14 years in prison," said Chief Judge Suparman Nyompa during the trial, Monday, January 8.

Not only criminal, Rafael was also sentenced to a fine of Rp. 500 million. If you do not have the ability, you will be replaced with imprisonment for 3 months.

Then, the panel of judges also gave an additional penalty for Rafael Alun in the form of paying replacement money. The amount reached Rp 10 billion.

"Imposing additional penalties to the defendant rafael square trisambodo to pay compensation of Rp. 10,079,095,519," he said.

If Rafael Alun Trisambodo is unable to pay the replacement money, then he will get a substitute law. Mario Dandy's father will be sanctioned for an additional 3 years in prison.

"With the provision that if the defendant does not pay the replacement money within one month after obtaining permanent legal force, his property can be confiscated and auctioned off by the prosecutor to cover the replacement money and in the case that the defendant does not have sufficient property to pay the replacement money, he will be sentenced to 3 years," said Judge Suparman.

This verdict seems to ignore the claims of Rafael Alun Trisambodo's team of lawyers about having contributed a lot to the country.

Meanwhile, the claim was submitted by Junaedi Saabih during the trial on January 2. It said, for one of these reasons, his client deserves to be acquitted of all charges and demands by the public prosecutor.

"The defendant has never been convicted; during the trial process the defendant was polite, honest, and has been cooperative in following the trial process well; the defendant is the backbone of the family; the defendant has contributed a lot to the Indonesian nation and state," said Junaedi.

In addition, Junaedi also said that his client was the backbone of the family. Thus, the judge's decision will have a significant impact on the family of Rafael Alun Trisambodo.

"We respect the panel of judges, we need to convey that the criminal process currently being carried out by the Defendant Rafael Alun Trisambodo is very difficult for the family to pass. The defendant Rafael Alun Trisambodo is the backbone of the family, so the decision of the aquo case will have a significant impact on the children and wife of the Defendant Rafael Alun Trisambodo," he said.

However, when referring back to the judge's decision, actually the performance of Rafael Alun Trisambodo as a civil servant is considered as mitigating.

It is known that Mario Dandy's father has served the country as a civil servant for decades.
