The prosecutor also demanded that the defendant Mangapul pay a fine of Rp. 750 million, provided that if he was not paid, he would be replaced with a fine of 6 months.
In his charge, the prosecutor assessed that the actions of the defendant Erintua Damanik, who is the chairman of the panel who tried the Ronald Tannur case, had been proven to have violated Article 6 paragraph 2 and Article 12B in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph 1 1 of the Criminal Code.
