A South Jakarta panel of judges has sentenced Andhika Gumilang, alias Juan Farrero, 23, the husband of former Citibank manager Malinda Dee, to four years in prison and a Rp 350 million fine after being found guilty of money laundering and forgery.
Presiding judge Yonisman said Andhika had accepted a total of Rp 147 million in the form of 24 bank transfers from Malinda, who had previously been charged with embezzling her premium customers’ deposits.
The bank transfers were made through bank accounts belonging to Malinda’s brother-in-law, Ismail bin Janim, and sister, Visca Lovitasari.
Andhika also received a Hummer SUV car worth around Rp 1.1 billion from Malinda.
“The defendant surely knew that the money he had received was gained from crime,” the judge said as quoted by kompas.com on Thursday.
Yonisman added that Andhika also had seven identity cards in the names of Andhika Gumilang and Juan Farrero; each one, however, possessing a different date of birth.
The identity cards were later used to open different bank accounts to receive the illegal money from his wife.(iwa/dic)
