“Therefore, Defendant III Jimmy Marsin was sentenced to 8 years in prison,” said the head of the panel of judges, Brelly Yuniar Dien Wardi Haskori, when reading the verdict, Tuesday (16/12) evening.
Not only that, the judge also imposed an additional penalty in the form of compensation money on Jimmy Masrin amounting to US$32,691,551.88 (or the equivalent of Rp. 547.5 billion (exchange rate of 1 dollar = Rp. 16,750). This replacement money must be paid within one month after the decision has permanent legal force or inkrah.
If it is not paid, the property will be confiscated and auctioned by the prosecutor to cover the replacement money.If you are unable to pay, you will be sentenced to prison for 4 years.
The panel of judges also sentenced two other defendants from the PT PE board of directors in this case.They are Defendant I Newin Nugroho as President Director, and Defendant II Susy Mira Dewi Sugiarta as Director.
Newin was sentenced to 4 years in prison and a fine of IDR 250 million subsidiary to 4 months in prison.Meanwhile, Susy was sentenced to 6 years in prison and a fine of IDR 250 million, subsidiary to 4 months in prison.
According to the judge, the defendants’ actions fulfilled the first charge of the Corruption Eradication Commission Public Prosecutor (KPK Prosecutor), namely violating Article 2 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 64 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
The judge also read out the aggravating and mitigating circumstances as a consideration for the decision against the defendants.
Aggravating circumstances, namely corruption, including serious crimes, apart from being detrimental to state finances and the country’s economy, can also hinder the progress of the state and nation.Therefore, the government is aggressively preventing and eradicating criminal acts of corruption.
“However, until now criminal acts of corruption continue to occur. Therefore, the actions of the defendants have become an obstacle to the government’s efforts to prevent and eradicate criminal acts of corruption,” said the judge.
Then, the judge said that the defendants Susy and Jimmy Masrin were not frank in giving their statements.
Meanwhile, as a mitigating circumstance, Defendant I (Newin Nugroho) was frank in giving his statement, and the defendants had family responsibilities.
The actions of Jimmy Masrin et al are said to have caused state financial losses amounting to IDR 958.5 billion from the Export Working Capital Credit facility from LPEI.
The credit details consist of KMKE 1 amounting to US$22 million (equivalent to Rp. 356.5 billion), KMKE 2 amounting to Rp. 400 billion, and KMKE 2 additional amounting to Rp. 200 billion.
The mode of corruption is by using fictitious contracts in submitting applications for PT PE credit facilities to LPEI.
Apart from that, using underlying disbursement documents in the form of purchase orders (PO) and invoices (bills) that do not correspond to the actual situation, aka fictitious.These documents are a condition for disbursing financing facilities from LPEI to PT PE as a fuel oil (BBM) distribution company.
The defendants had used credit financing facilities that were not in accordance with their objectives.The reason is, the credit money obtained was actually used for other purposes, such as paying debts and placed in a number of companies affiliated with Jimmy and Newin.
The defendants carried out their actions together with LPEI officials, namely Dwi Wahyudi as Managing Director I of LPEI and Arif Setiawan as Managing Director 4 of LPEI.These actions were carried out by the defendants in 2015-2019.
After listening to the reading of the verdict, the three defendants, through their legal team, were unable to determine their position.They will use 7 days to think about taking an appeal.The KPK prosecutor also expressed the same thing.
The corruption case that ensnared Jimmy Masrin et al is part of several cases of suspected corruption at LPEI from a number of other debtors.The total value of state losses reached IDR 11.7 trillion.
