JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Andi Alfian Mallarangeng, former Minister of Youth & Sports and former politician from President SBY’s Democratic Party, might face a prison sentence if panel of judges at the Jakarta Corruption Court put a guilty verdict in Friday’s trial of the Hambalang Sports Center project scandal.
Talking to the press before the trial, Andi hopes to walk free from the prosecutors’ demands.
As reported earlier, the prosecutor team from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) demanded to panel of judges to sentence Andi with 10 years jail term.
The prosecutor also demanded the panel of judges to order Andi to pay Rp300 million in fine or a six month imprisonment if he failed to pay the fine and to pay Rp2.5 billion in restitution to the state to cover the state losses.
The prosecutor asked the court to seize Andi’s wealth if he failed to pay the restitution and if later Andi’s wealth seized by the court is not sufficient to pay the restitution, then Andi must spend an additional two years in jail.
The KPK’s prosecutor alleged Andi for receiving bribes from the Hambalang Sports Center project.
According to KPK’s prosecutors, Andi had received US$550,000 fee from Deddy Kusdinar (former Chief of Financial and Internal Affairs Bureau at the Ministry of Youth & Sports) through his brother, Andi Zulkarnain Mallarangeng aka Choel Mallarangeng.
KPK prosecutor team also said Andi had received Rp4 billion fee from PT Global Daya Manunggal, the sub-contractor of the project, also through Choel. (haryantos@yosefardi.biz)
