JAKARTA - Former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the case of alleged extortion and acceptance of gratuities. In the decision, the panel of judges also decided to seize the flow of funds from SYL to various parties for the state.

"Considering that the panel of judges agrees with general officials regarding evidence of money in rupiah currency, and foreign currency is money confiscated from the official residence of the defendant Jalan Widya Chandra, and in the trial it is recognized as belonging to the deceased so it should be confiscated for the state," said member judge Fahzal Hendri during a trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Thursday, July 11.

The money that has been confiscated by the KPK was also used as payment of replacement money worth Rp. 14,147,144,786 (Rp. 14.1 billion) and US$30,000.

"It is used as criminal compensation to pay the replacement money charged to the defendant. If in the calculation there is an excess, or the remainder, it must be returned to the defendant or his family," he said.

In addition, in his decision, the judge also stated that the money that had been returned by a number of parties in the SYL case which is now in the KPK holding account was to be confiscated and also taken into account in the SYL replacement money.

"Considering that all the additional evidence is money obtained from the proceeds of a criminal act of corruption, and money related to the criminal act of corruption committed by the defendant Syahrul Yasin Limpo, so that it should be confiscated for the state, and money is calculated as compensation for additional compensation for the replacement money charged to the defendant Syahrul Yasin Limpo," said Judge Fahzal.
