The former chief of
Traffic Police Corps, Inspector General Djoko Susilo, was sentenced to
10 years in jail and fined Rp500 million for corruption linked to a
driving simulator project.
"Inspector General Djoko Susilo is proven guilty of corruption and involvement in a number of crimes and is sentenced to 10 years in jail and fined Rp500 million or six months more in jail," chief judge Suhartoyo said in a corruption court session.]
The sentence was lighter than the prosecutor`s demand, which was 18 years in jail and a fine of Rp1 million or one more year in jail for failing to pay it in addition to Rp32 billion in damages or five more years in jail for failing to pay it.
The prosecutor has also demanded the revocation of his right to vote and to be voted for a public office.
"The council of judges think the prosecutor`s demand is too heavy while they consider the sentence has met the sense of justice as it could be used as a momentum for the convict to repent," judge Anwar said.
The council of judges in its verdict also ruled that Djoko need not pay damages worth Rp32 billion as demanded by the prosecutors.
"The demand is not met because some assets have been confiscated," Anwar said reading the verdict.
Regarding the demand for the revocation of Djoko`s political right judges had also denied.
"The judges would not revoke the convict`s political right because he is already sentenced to jail for a long time so that he would automatically be screened by existing political regulatons," he said.
Djoko`s assets would be confiscated except three namely a plot of land and a house on Jalan Cendrawasih in Tanjung Barat Mas under the name of Mahdiana, a Toyota Avanza car under the name of Sonya Mariana Ruth Warouw and a Toyota Avanza car under the name of Muhammad Zainal Abidin.
Upon hearing the verdict Djoko said he would appeal it. "We will appeal the verdict," Djoko`s lawyer Juniver Girsang said.
Prosecutor from the Corruption Eradication Commission, Kemas Abdul Roni, said there are few points in the judges` verdict that he did not agree with but he said he still had yet to discuss with his colleagues whether or not he would appeal the ruling.
