JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) prosecutors demanded that Deputy Regent Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) be inactive Johan Anuar (55) sentenced to eight years in prison in a 2012 grave land corruption case.
KPK prosecutor Rikhi Benindo also asked the defendant to pay a fine of Rp. 200 million and pay state losses of Rp. 3.2 billion or to be compensated with a sentence of one year and his political rights revoked.
"Imposing an additional sentence to the defendant Johan Anuar in the form of revocation of his right to be elected to public office for five years after completing his sentence," said Rikhi, at the Corruption Room at the Palembang District Court (PN), South Sumatra, as reported by Antara, Thursday, April 15.
The prosecutor assessed that the defendant was proven to have committed a criminal act of corruption jointly in the procurement of TPU land in OKU Regency which resulted in the state experiencing losses of up to IDR 5.7 billion.
The defendant Johan Anuar at that time was still the Deputy Chairperson of the OKU DPRD in 2012 allegedly arranging land acquisition together with four OKU district government officials, namely the Regional Secretary, Kadisnaker and Assistant Sekda.
The TPU is located in Kemelak Bidung Langit Village, East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, covering an area of 10 hectares.
Based on the investigation report on the calculation of state losses from BPK RI at the OKU Social Service for the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year, the state losses came from the SP2D payment value of IDR 6 billion and the value of the 5 percent tax payment of IDR 300,000,000.
The defendant was charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
With regard to these charges, the defendant through his attorney Titis Rachmawati will file a plea, because he thinks the charges are too heavy and not comparable to previous similar cases.
"Compared with several other cases, the value of the losses is greater than what was charged to our client, but the demands did not end up like this," he said.
In addition, the claim to pay state losses amounting to Rp3.2 billion is considered unfounded, because the value of the state loss has already been imposed on the convict Khaidirman in the previous verdict and has already paid.
"This means that the OKU Regency Government will get land and money, because the payment for state losses is double," said Titis.
