Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN) for the period 2021-2023, Alfian Nasution, was sentenced to 6 years in prison after being proven to be involved in the alleged corruption case in the management of crude oil and refinery products of PT Pertamina (Persero) for the period 2013-2024.
"Declaring the defendant Alfian Nasution to be proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing corruption in common as charged by the public prosecutor," said Presiding Judge Adek Nurhadi in the verdict hearing at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, May 11, reported by ANTARA.
The presiding judge stated that Alfian and the other defendants were proven to have legally and convincingly committed corruption crimes together, which had caused losses to the state treasury of 2.73 billion US dollars and Rp. 25.44 trillion.
In the same case, Pertamina's Marketing and Sales Director for the period 2012-2014, Hanung Budya Yuktyanta, was also sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Both of them were also sentenced to a fine of Rp1 billion each, with the provision of a substitute for imprisonment for 160 days if the fine is not paid.
The judge explained that the defendants' actions were carried out in three stages, namely the procurement of the fuel terminal lease by Pertamina, the provision of special fuel assignment (JBKP) RON 90 compensation in 2022-2023, and the sale of non-subsidized solar in 2020-2021.
In the consideration of the panel of judges, the actions of the defendants were carried out, among others, by requesting direct appointment to PT Oiltanking Merak (OTM) in the cooperation of the fuel terminal lease, even though it did not meet the procurement criteria.
For their actions, the defendants were found to have violated Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Corruption Eradication Law as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
Before sentencing, the panel of judges considered aggravating and mitigating circumstances. The aggravating condition is that Alfian and Hanung's actions do not support the government's program, which is actively carrying out the eradication of corruption.
"While it is a mitigating factor, that is, the defendants are cooperative in the trial, they still have family obligations, have never been convicted, and are elderly," said the Chief Judge.
After considering all of these things, the verdict of the panel of judges became lighter than the prosecutor's demands. Previously, Alfian and Hanung were each sentenced to 14 years and 8 years in prison, a fine of Rp. 1 billion subsider 190 days in prison, and charged with compensation of Rp. 5 billion subsider 7 years and 4 years in prison.
Regarding the replacement money, the panel of judges did not charge it to Alfian and Hanung because they were proven not to have received money from corruption in the three stages that deviated.
In the case of alleged crude oil corruption, Alfian and Hanung were charged with committing acts against the law together with the Director of Gas, Petrochemicals, and New Business of PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) for the period 2024-2025 Arief Sukmara and Vice President (VP) Crude, Product Trading, and Commercial (CPTC) Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) PT Pertamina (Persero) for the period 2019-2020 Dwi Sudarsono.
Then, Trafigura Pte, Ltd Business Development Manager 2019-2021 Martin Haendra Nata, Business Development Manager PT Mahameru Kencana Abadi Indra Putra, Director of Marketing and Sales at Pertamina Patra Niaga 2020-2021 Hasto Wibowo, and Senior Vice President (SVP) ISC Pertamina 2017-2018 Toto Nugroho.
The sixth verdict of the defendant was read separately after the trial of the verdict against Alfian and Hanung.
