JAKARTA - A series of Ferdy Sambo's subordinates have finished undergoing the trial of the obstruction of justice case or the obstruction of the investigation that caused the death of Yosua alias Brigadier J. They were sentenced to be lighter than the demands of the public prosecutor (JPU), including Hendra Kurniawan.

The former Karo Paminal Polri was sentenced to similar sanctions to the prosecutor's demands. He was sentenced to three years in prison and a fine of Rp. 20 million.

"The defendant Hendra Kurniawan was sentenced to three years in prison," said Chief Judge Akhmad Suhel during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday, February 27.

There are several considerations behind the verdict for Hendra Kurniawan. For burdensome matters, he is considered unprofessional as a member of the Bhayangkara Corps.

"The defendant was not honest in giving information during the trial," said Judge Suhel.

Meanwhile, the mitigating factor is that the defendant, former Karo Paminal, has never been convicted and also has family responsibilities.

Even with Arif Rachman Arifin and Irfan Widyanto. They also received a lighter sanction, namely imprisonment for 10 months. Because, at the trial some time ago, the prosecutor demanded both of them one year BUI.

The fine given by the second panel of judges is also similar to the demands, which is Rp. 10 million.
