JAKARTA - Former Regional Secretary (Sekda) of South Buru Regency, Sahrul Pawa, filed an appeal against the seven-year sentence in the alleged corruption case in the budget for the rehabilitation of the regional official residence for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
"Our appeal is made because the panel of corruption judges at the first instance court did not consider the evidence we submitted," said Syukur Kaliki, Sahrul Pawa's legal adviser in Ambon, Maluku, Thursday, May 11, confiscated by Antara.
According to him, the evidence in the form of a house contract submitted by the public prosecutor of the Buru District Prosecutor's Office was not signed by both parties, in this case Sahrul Pawa with Tayib Soulissa.
"The correct house contract is the private house of our client with Tayib Soulissa," said Syukur.
The defendant Sahrul Pawa through his legal advisor has submitted a memorandum of appeal to the Corruption Registrar at the Ambon District Court Office to be forwarded to the Ambon High Court.
