SEAToday.com, Jakarta - The Jakarta High Court (PT DKI Jakarta) increases the sentence of defendant Harvey Moeis to 20 years in prison and a fine of IDR 1 billion with a subsidiary of 8 months in prison. 

The appeal ruling was read by the Presiding Judge, Teguh Harianto, at the Jakarta High Court, Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (13/2).

Presiding Judge Teguh Harianto explained that the sentence was increased following the acceptance of an appeal from the Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) and Harvey's legal counsel.

The Jakarta High Court also increased the additional penalty of restitution for Harvey to IDR420 billion, with a subsidiary of 10 years in prison.

In deciding the appeal, the Panel of Judges considered several aggravating factors, including that Harvey's actions did not support the government's program to combat corruption.
