"The replacement money was reduced by Rp. 60,300,000 which had been entrusted to the public prosecutor through the West Seram Kejari account so that the replacement money charged to the defendant was reduced to Rp. 411 million," said the panel of judges.

There are also things that burden the defendant, namely not supporting the government's program in eradicating corruption, and as a result of the defendant's actions causing public services to be hampered.

Meanwhile, the mitigating factor was that the defendant was polite during the trial, the defendant had never been convicted and regretted his actions and apologized, and the defendant had also returned some of the state's financial losses.
