YOGYAKARTA In this article, the profile of Ira Puspadewi, the former President Director (ASDP) who received rehabilitation from President Prabowo after being sentenced to 4.5 years in prison.
Previously, Ira was found guilty by the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor), Thursday, November 20, 2025. The verdict is contained in Case Decision number: 68/Pid.Sus-TPK/PN.Jkt.Pst related to the alleged corruption case of business cooperation (KSU) and the acquisition process of PT Jembatan Nusantara (PT JN) for the 2019-2022 period.
Ira Puspadewi, together with the Commercial and Service Director of PT ASDP Muhammad Yusuf Hadi and the Director of Planning and Development of PT ASDP Harry Muhammad Adhi Caksono, were considered to have committed acts that caused state losses.
The 4.5-year prison sentence handed down to Ira was highlighted by many parties because one of the judges filed a dissenting opinion on the decision.
In that unanimous decision, the Chairman of the Panel of Judges, Sunoto, considered that Ira Puspadewi and the other two defendants should have received a decision to be released or released due to lack of evidence of corruption.
According to Sunoto, the case is more appropriate to be resolved in a civil manner, because Ira cs' actions in acquiring PT JN are protected by the principle of Business Judge Rule (BJR).
After being found guilty, Ira asked President Prabowo Subianto for protection and received rehabilitation.
"President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto has signed the rehabilitation letters for the three names (Ira Puspa Dewi, Muhammad Yusuf Hadi, and Harry Muhammad Adhi Caksono," said Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Tuesday, November 25, 2011.
