Prosecutors have demanded that the Jakarta Corruption Court sentence businessman Tommy Sumardi to one year and six months in prison for assisting Djoko Tjandra with his Interpol red notice removal.
“[We demand that] defendant Tommy Sumardi be sentenced under Article 5 or Article 13 of the law on corruption eradication,” the prosecutors said on Tuesday, as quoted by
tempo.co.
Prosecutors also demanded that Tommy pay a fine of Rp 100 million (US$7,045).
Tommy allegedly acted as a middleman between Djoko and two former police generals to arrange for Djoko’s return to Indonesia when he was a fugitive implicated in the Bank Bali corruption case. Djoko previously admitted to paying Rp 10 billion to Tommy for the task.
