SEMARANG - Two former directors of BPR BKK Karanganyar, Central Java, Manis Subakir and Sutanto, defendants in the alleged corruption case in credit distribution at the financial institution from 2014 to 2016 were sentenced to 7.5 years in prison.

In addition to the corporal punishment, public prosecutor Andhy Sulakso in a trial at the Semarang Corruption Court also demanded that the two defendants pay a fine of Rp. 50 million. If not paid, will be replaced with imprisonment for 3 months.

"Demanding that the panel of judges who tried the case sentenced the defendant to 7 years and 6 months in prison," said prosecutor Andhy Sulakso in a trial led by Chief Justice NGR Rajendra, quoted by Antara, Thursday, June 30.

The prosecutor assessed that the two defendants were proven to have violated Article 2 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001.

The prosecutor's considerations in prosecuting the defendants were, among other things, that the two of them did not support the government's program to eradicate corruption. In addition, the two defendants have also been convicted.

Each of the defendants has enjoyed the money from the corruption, namely the defendants Manis Subakir of Rp. 1.5 billion and Sutanto of Rp. 975 million.

The prosecutor also demanded that the two defendants pay compensation for state losses for the corruption proceeds of each defendant Manis Subakir amounting to Rp1.124 billion and defendant Sutanto amounting to Rp790 million.

The two defendants were given the opportunity to present their defense at the next trial.

Manis Subakir and Sutanto were involved in an alleged criminal act of corruption in lending at BPR BKK Karanganyar which cost the state around Rp. 3.8 billion.

The two defendants are suspected of manipulating credit application documents that are not in accordance with procedures, resulting in bad loans.
