Antasari to file for judicial review
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 01/21/2011 11:03 AM
Former Corruption Eradication Commission chief and murder convict Antasari Azhar will file for a judicial review of his sentence verdict following recent statements made by graft convict Gayus Tambunan, Antasari's attorney Junifer Girsang says.
Junifer said Gayus had mentioned that prosecutor Cirus Sinaga had been involved in a plot to sideline Antasari.
"Based on that new testimony, we will build our judicial review case. We hope Cirus will confess," Junifer said as quoted by Antara.
Antasari was convicted of murdering businessman Nasruddin Zulkarnaen. The Supreme Court rejected his appeal in September, retaining his 18 years' imprisonment sentence.
