PALEMBANG - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the South Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office has sentenced the former Mayor of Palembang, South Sumatra, Harnojoyo to 3.5 years in prison in connection with the alleged corruption case of the Cinde Market project.
This was conveyed by the JPU during the trial of the indictment at the Palembang Class 1 A Corruption Court, Monday, February 23, in front of the Panel of Judges headed by Fauzi Isra.
The things that weigh the defendant, namely the defendant's actions do not support the preservation of cultural heritage.
In addition, due to the defendant's actions, the Cinde Market building was abandoned, thus eliminating the local government's income. Then, due to the defendant's actions, the community, especially the traders there, had to lose their livelihoods.
In the demand, the JPU stated that the defendant was found to have been proven to be legally and convincingly in violation of the primary indictment as stipulated in Article 2 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code.
The prosecutor confirmed that all elements of the article charged had been met based on the facts of the trial.
"Demanding that the panel of judges impose a sentence on the defendant Harnojoyo with a sentence of 3 years and 6 months in prison," said the JPU as reported by ANTARA.
In addition to imprisonment, the defendant is also required to pay a fine of IDR 200 million. If the fine is not paid, it will be replaced with a six-month imprisonment.
However, the JPU did not impose an additional penalty in the form of compensation for state losses on the defendant Harnojoyo. The reason is that the defendant has deposited Rp. 750 million to the Prosecutor's Office, so that the additional penalty is considered nil.
Meanwhile, the defendant Harnojoyo will also submit a defense note or pledoi at the next hearing.
