The trial for the wrong transfer of Rp. 51 million BCA money in Surabaya some time ago

SURABAYA - Ardi Pratama, the defendant in the wrong transfer case of IDR51 million from BCA was sentenced to one year in prison.

Chairman of the Panel of Judges Ni Putu Purnami said that Ardi was proven to have violated Article 85 of Law Number 3 of 2011 concerning Fund Transfers.

"Imposing a sentence on the defendant, therefore, with a sentence of one-year imprisonment", said Putu, in a virtual court verdict from the Candra room of the Surabaya District Court, Thursday, April 15.

Putu thought the defendant was convoluted when questioned, even during the trial. Ardi was declared proven to have used the wrong transfer of money. Meanwhile, the mitigating consideration was that he had never been convicted and behaved politely during the trial.

Based on the verdict, the defendant's attorney Hendrix Kurniawan expressed his thoughts. "We are still going to consult with the family, we still have seven days to go", he said.

Prosecutor Gede Willy Pramana also said the same thing. He and his team members still thinking about the judge's decision. "We are still thinking about it", he said.

During the virtual trial, the defendant Ardi was present from the Class I detention center in Surabaya in Medaeng Sidoarjo. With a mask and wearing a head covering, Ardi was seen nodding to understand the verdict handed down by the judge to him.

Ardi, who works as a car buying and selling broker, has been detained since November 26, 2020. He is in prison after being reported for using the wrong transfer money from BCA amounting to IDR51 million.

Ardi thought the money was a commission for the sale of two cars from his business. It turned out that the money went into Ardi's account because a bank employee entered the wrong account number. The employee then reported Ardi to the police because he was deemed to have no good intentions to return the money.
