Supreme Court official M. Adi Toegarisman said that a total of Rp. 67 billion belonging to corruption and money laundering convict Bahasyim Assifie is scheduled to be transferred to the state's account at BNI (Bank Negara Indonesia) tomorrow, Wednesday, May 2, 2012.
The Supreme Court panel of judges consisting of Leopold Hutagalung dan M.S. Lumme as ad hoc members and Djoko Sarwoko as presiding judge handed down a six-year prison sentence - each for corruption and money laundering - to Bahasyim on Oct. 31, 2011. The Supreme Court by its ruling rectified the single verdict handed down by the Jakarta High Court for two cases.
Adi said that the South Jakarta District Court would execute the verdict by confiscating Bahasyim's wealth amounting to Rp. 60.82 billion and US$681,140. He explained that the execution process of transferring the evidence deposited at the BRI account of Jakarta Prosecutors’ Office to the BNI account of South Jakarta District Court was hampered by the huge amounts of money involved.
Bahasyim was convicted of laundering money worth Rp. 64 billion. He was indicted after Center of Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis found suspicious transactions for a total of Rp. 963 billion in six accounts belonging to his wife and two children.
In addition, a former Taxation Directorate employee was also convicted for receiving bribe of Rp. 1 billion from a taxpayer when he was serving as Head of Inspection and Investigation Jakarta. He is being held at the Cipinang Penitentiary in East Jakarta.
