Rum said the shares had been sold through a transaction mechanism on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the proceeds had been transferred to the state treasury.
Gayus, who was a former low-ranking tax officer, previously was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment and fined Rp 1 billion for corruption and money laundering.
A subsequent appeal and judicial review on his case was rejected by the Supreme Court, where instead his sentence was increased to eight years. (jun)
