Thu, 04/30/2009 3:13 PM | National
JAKARTA: The Jakarta High Court has rejected an appeal filed by convicted businessman Izzat Husein contesting his four-year jail sentence for involvement in an embezzlement scandal worth Rp 17 billion (US$1.53 million) handed down by the Corruption Court.
"The High Court upholds the verdict handed down by the Corruption Court," said Madya Suhardja, spokesman of the court, to tempointeraktif.com.
The Corruption Court had also sentenced Izzat to pay Rp 200 million in fines and Rp 13.8 billion in restitution.
The case revolves around a land-exchange deal involving the West Lombok regency administration and its partner PT Varindo Lombok Inti (VLI), a company directed by Izzat.
"The deal was signed between the regency and the company, but the crime was the responsibility of an individual," Madya said. -JP
