JAKARTA: Two defendants on trial in a terrorism case were each sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The East Jakarta District Court found defendants Tatang Mulyadi and Abdi Tunggal, former members of the National Police, guilty on Thursday for supplying weapons and ammunition to terror groups in Aceh.
“The defendants supplied 28 firearms, 19,999 bullets and 72 magazines to terrorist groups in Aceh,” presiding judge Tri Widodo said in his verdict.
Tatang, who was stationed as a guard at the National Police arms warehouse in Cipinang, East Jakarta, since June 2009 stole the arms and ammunition, selling it to terror groups in Aceh with Abdi Tunggal. The gun-running ran from October 2009 to March 2010. — JP
