In December 2018, Johannes Budisutrisno Kotjo, a defendant in the case of corruption in the construction of the Riau Power Plant, was deemed guilty and sentenced to 2 years and 8 months imprisonment. Johannes accepted the verdict and did not appeal, but the prosecutors of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) refused to accept the verdict and filed an appeal. The Jakarta High Court granted the KPK’s appeal over a week ago. Johannes’ sentences were aggravated. The trial of Eni Maulani Saragih, meanwhile, continues. We expect to hear to court’s verdict in the near future. The trial of Idrus Marham is still in the stage of listening to the witnesses accounts.
