JAKARTA - The panel of judges at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court sentenced him to 11 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 750 million, subsidiary to 6 months imprisonment to the lawyer convicted of Ronald Tannur, Lisa Rachmat.
The chairman of the panel of judges, Rosihan Juhriah Rangkuti, in the trial stated that Lisa Rachmat was proven to have given bribes to the judge to influence his client's decision, which at that time was a murder case defendant.
"The defendant is therefore sentenced to 11 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 750 million provided that if it is not paid, it will be replaced with imprisonment for 6 months," said the judge as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 18.
Lisa was declared to have violated Article 6 paragraph (1) letter ajuncto Article 18 and Article 15 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
Previously, Lisa Rachmat was sentenced to 14 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 750 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison in the alleged case of conspiracy to give bribes to the case of Ronald Tannur at the Surabaya District Court and the Supreme Court.
At the trial for the pronunciation of the indictment which was held on Wednesday (28/5), the public prosecutor of the Attorney General's Office also demanded that Lisa be sentenced to an additional sentence in the form of revocation of her profession as an advocate.
In this case, Lisa Rachmat was charged with giving bribes to a judge at the Surabaya District Court amounting to Rp4.67 billion and a Supreme Court judge at the Supreme Court amounting to Rp5 billion.
The bribe was to condition a murder case with the perpetrator Ronald Tannur so that the panel of judges in the first instance court acquitted and the panel of judges at the cassation level strengthened the acquittal.
