JAKARTA - Former President Director (Managing Director) of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya (PPSJ) Yoory Corneles was sentenced to 5 years in prison in connection with the alleged corruption case in land acquisition in Pulo Gebang, East Jakarta for a down payment (DP) program of IDR 0 of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

In the trial of reading the indictment at the Jakarta Corruption Court, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) assessed that Yoory was legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption jointly.

"This is as regulated and subject to criminal penalties in Article 2 Paragraph (1) of Law (UU) 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 (KUHP), as stated in the first indictment," said the Public Prosecutor as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, December 2.

In addition to imprisonment, Yoory is also required to be subject to a fine, which is Rp. 300 million, provided that if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced (subsider) with imprisonment for 6 months.

The prosecutor also demanded that the Jakarta Corruption Court Panel of Judges impose a sentence on Yoory with an additional penalty in the form of replacement money in the amount of Rp31.17 billion, which must be paid no later than one month after the court's decision to obtain permanent legal force (inkrah).

If at that time Yoory did not pay the replacement money, then his property would be confiscated by the prosecutor and auctioned off to cover the replacement money.

"In the event that the convict does not have sufficient assets to pay the replacement money, he will be sentenced to 3 years in prison," said the prosecutor.

In filing the charges, the Public Prosecutor said there were several aggravating and mitigating things to consider. The aggravating thing is that Yoory does not support the government's program in efforts to eradicate corruption.

Meanwhile, mitigating factors are considered, namely Yoory has family responsibilities and has served the region and state through Regional Owned Enterprises (BUMD) for 25 years.

In this case, Yoory was charged with joint corruption or abusing his authority, causing a total loss to state finances of Rp256.03 billion.

Yoory is suspected of committing corruption together with the owner of the benefits of PT Adonara Propertindo, Rudy Hartono and Operations Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Tommy Adrian.

For his actions, Yoory was charged with enriching himself by Rp31.82 billion, while Rudy enriched himself worth Rp224.21 billion, causing losses to state finances.

Thus, the three were charged with violating Article 2 Paragraph (1) or Article 3 jo. Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
