he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is set to appeal a Jakarta Corruption Court verdict in a graft case involving businessman Andi Agustinus, also known as Andi Narogong.
KPK prosecutors have demanded that the court include information that was reportedly missing from the verdict read out on Dec. 21, according to KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah.
“The sentence matched the demand [of eight years’ imprisonment], but we demand the court include in the verdict the results of our investigation, which found the possible involvement of several other parties in the e-ID case,” he said on Tuesday.
In the verdict, Febri added, the court only mentioned two former Home Ministry officials, namely Irman and Sugiharto.
The KPK is demanding that the verdict mentions other parties implicated in the embezzlement of funds intended for the procurement of e-ID cards.
This was needed to ease the antigraft body’s next move in resolving the high-profile case, Febri said.
The case reportedly caused Rp 2.3 trillion (US$170 million) in state losses. In the Dec. 21 hearing, presiding judge Jhon Halasan Butarbutar declared Andi guilty of conspiring with various parties in the deliberation of the e-ID project at the House of Representatives.
