SEMARANG - The President Commissioner of PT Sritex Iwan Setiawan Lukminto and the President Director of PT Sritex Iwan Kurniawan Lukminto, defendants in the alleged corruption case of granting credit facilities for textile companies that have been declared bankrupt, are each sentenced to 16 years in prison.
The Public Prosecutor, Fajar Santosopadasidang at the Semarang Corruption Crime Court, also demanded the two defendants with a fine of Rp. 1 billion, which if not paid will be replaced with imprisonment for 190 days.
In the case, the prosecutor stated that the two defendants were found guilty of committing corruption and money laundering crimes.
"The defendant is found guilty of violating Article 603 of Law Number 1 of 2023 and Article 3 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, April 20.
In its consideration, the public prosecutor stated that the two defendants applied for loans to three regional government-owned banks using financial statements that were different from those submitted in the Financial Information Service System (SLIK) of the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
In his demand, the prosecutor stated that the defendant Iwan Setiawan Lukminto was the main perpetrator of the corruption crime which resulted in a total state loss of around IDR 1.3 trillion.
"The state's losses are real and cannot be recovered because PT Sritex has been declared bankrupt and has no sufficient assets," he said at the hearing chaired by Chief Judge Rommel Franciskus Tampubolon.
In addition, said the JPU, the defendant's actions have an impact on the regional economy.
In the TPPU case, the defendant was proven to have disguised the money obtained from the criminal act, among others, by placing it in the operational account of PT Sritex so that it was disguised with the company's legitimate income.
In addition, the defendant also disguised the money obtained from the criminal act to buy land, houses, apartments, and cars.
In his consideration, the public prosecutor stated that the actions of the two defendants resulted in a large state loss.
"The defendant does not feel guilty and does not regret his actions," he said.
In his demand, the JPU also asked the panel of judges to impose an additional sentence on the two defendants in the form of payment of compensation for state losses of IDR 677 billion each, which if not paid will be replaced with imprisonment for 8 years.
In response to the demands, Presiding Judge Rommel Franciskus Tampubolon gave the two defendants the opportunity to present their defense at the next hearing.
