BANDUNG - The inactive mayor of Cimahi, West Java, Ajay M Priyatna was sentenced to seven years in prison by the KPK prosecutors. Ajay is believed to have accepted bribes to smooth out a hospital project permit.

"Asking the panel of judges to impose a sentence of seven years in prison with a fine of Rp. 300 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison," said KPK Public Prosecutor Budi Nugraha at the Bandung District Court (PN), Thursday, August 12.
