The trials of the key defendants involved in the PT Asuransi Sosial Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia (PT ASABRI) corruption scandal is over. In contrast to the revelation of the case that seemed so extraordinary, the trials went along quietly. The matters examined were no longer of interest to the public, except when the prosecutors decided they could indict one of the defendants, Heru Hidayat, with the death penalty. The similar demands were read ten months later, during the hearing held on Oct. 26, 2022. The prosecutors demanded the death penalty for Benny Tjokrosaputro. This week, Benny was sentenced with the same punishment as Heru, zero prison term. To subscribe please click here
