The court also ordered him to pay Rp 494 billion in fines, double the amount of state losses he caused.
Zulfikar's illicit operation was first revealed by investigators of the Finance Ministry's tax directorate general.
The investigation found that Zulfikar, his relative Darwis alias Awis, tax consultant Tan Kiem Boen and two other individuals had conspired to make fictitious tax invoices for more than 11 companies between 2003 and 2010, with a total value of Rp 2.47 trillion. Zulfikar and Darwis evaded the investigation and went on the run for five years.
The tax office, in cooperation with the National Police, arrested Zulfikar at Jl. Balai Pustaka IV No. 10 in Rawamangun, Pulogadung, East Jakarta on April 3.
The tax office and the police are still pursuing Darwis.
