he Sleman District Court on Wednesday sentenced the chairman of the Central Java and Yogyakarta chapter of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Bambang Teddy, to five months and 15 days in jail and fined him Rp 50 million (US$3,800), or another two months in prison, for fraud.
The court also sentenced Bambang's wife Sebrat Haryanti to six months probation and fined her Rp 50 million, or another two months in prison if she would or could not pay.
'Bambang Teddy and Sebrat Hariyanti were proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to have committed fraud together,' said presiding judge Rochmad on Wednesday.
As reported, Bambang was arrested by the Yogyakarta Police on Aug. 6, 2014, for fraud in the purchase of land worth Rp 11.7 billion.
