The defendant Suharmaji from the harbormaster was sentenced to 2 years in prison for the corruption defendant in the iron sand mine of PT Anugrah Mitra Graha (AMG) East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

The Panel of Judges at the Corruption Court (Tipikor) at the Mataram District Court stated that the defendant Suharmaji was proven to have committed corruption together as in the first indictment of the public prosecutor.

"The judge sentenced him to two years in prison by stating that the defendant's actions had been proven to have violated the first indictment of the public prosecutor," said Mataram District Court spokesman Kelik Trimargo in Mataram, Tuesday, June 11, as reported by Antara.

The first indictment of the public prosecutor relates to Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code jo. Article 65 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.

Against the defendant, the panel with Chief Justice Isrin Surya Kurniasih consisted of career judge Lalu Moh. Sandi Iramaya and Adhoc Judge Irawan Ismail, also imposed a fine of Rp. 50 million, subsidiary to two months in prison.

"In the verdict, the judge also determined that the detention period that the defendant had served was reduced entirely from the sentence imposed and determined that the defendant was still detained," he said.

Based on the verdict read out by the panel of judges on Monday, June 11, the defendant and the public prosecutor have not stated their stance to accept or submit further legal action to the NTB High Court (PT).

The sentence against Suharmaji is lower than the prosecutor's demand for a judge to impose 2.5 years in prison. Meanwhile, the fines and charges imposed are still the same as the prosecutor's demands.

He said the judge made this decision by stating that the defendant, as a guard officer at the Class III Kayangan Port Organizing Unit, was revealed in the facts of the trial several times that he committed criminal acts of corruption together.

One of them, Suharmaji as an employee of the Class III Kayang Port Organizing Unit was recorded as assisting the process of stuffing PT AMG's iron sand mining material that had not yet obtained approval of the planned activity and budget (RKAB) from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) RI.

In the period of shipmenting PT AMG's unlicensed iron sand material, namely in 2021 to 2022, recorded in a copy of Suharmaji's account, there was a transfer of money to another defendant, namely Sentot worth Rp. 137 million.

Sentot Ismudiyanto Kuncoro is the leader of Suharmaji at the Office of the Class III Kayangan Port Organizing Unit.

The money was revealed to have come from Rosmawati, Suharmaji's wife, who periodically sends money to Sentot through Suharmaji's banking account.

Rosmawati in this case is the owner of PT Muara Delta Kayangan (MDK), a loading and unloading company that transports the mining products of PT AMG.

Rosmawati's company made a profit of at least Rp. 1 billion from the shipment of AMG mining products for the 2021-2022 period.

The Rp137 million that was sent to Sentot on a regular basis was suspected of being wages to help pass the mining material shipment process of PT AMG.
