The Panel of Appeals in charge of the petition filed by the former Chairman of PPP Romahurmuziy (Rommy) had ruled in favor of Rommy. Rommy was previously convicted for accepting bribes from several officials of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. He was sentenced to two years imprisonment. But with the appeal decision, his sentence was halved. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) filed a cassation to the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court released Rommy. Separately, Emirsyah Satar, the former president director of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, who is standing trial for allegedly receiving bribes and committing money laundering, pleaded not guilty last week.
