Jakarta Corruption Court judges have found prosecutor Cirus Sinaga guilty of obstructing the course of justice and sentenced him to five years' imprisonment, with a fine of Rp 150 million (US$16,950) or an extra three months in prison.
“We find defendant Cirus Sinaga officially and convincingly guilty of indirectly obstructing the investigation, prosecution and court hearing of a corruption case,” chief judge Albertina Ho said in court on Tuesday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The sentence is slightly less than the prosecutors' demand for six years' imprisonment and Rp 150 million in fines.
Cirus made headlines last year when notorious former tax officer Gayus Tambunan, who is serving a prison sentence of his own and who was on trial for multiple other charges, announced that he had paid Cirus a $50,000 bribe to drop the graft charges against him.
