T
he Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) prosecutors demanded the Jakarta Corruption Court to hand down a five-year prison term to steel company PT The Master Steel president director Diah Soemedi on Tuesday for her alleged roles in a tax evasion case.
The prosecutors said Diah was guilty of bribing two tax officials, Mohamad Dian Irwan Nuqishira and Eko Darmayanto, with S$600,000 (US$472,204) in cash for them to stop their investigation into the company's tax problems.
'She is guilty of violating Article 5 of Law No.31/1999 on corruption,' prosecutor Iskandar Marwanto said during the demand hearing at the Jakarta Corruption Court in Kuningan, South Jakarta.
The prosecutors also demanded the panel of judges make Diah pay Rp 100 million in fines or serve an additional three months in prison.
Besides Diah, the KPK prosecutors also called on the court to sentence Diah's managers at the company, Effendy Kumala and Teddy Mulyawan, to four and three years in prison respectively.
