393761A joke, but probably, after Anggodo's lawyer appealed the sentence the Supreme court will manage to get another year off! 200 Million fine? Another joke! So, he'll be out in a jiffy - for good conduct etc, etc!!! Next Christmas or even by next August - Independence Day!
Its a joke of course. Only in the most corrupt nation on earth could this happen.
Has bought himself the lightest possible sentence, be out in no time. You can just feel his illness coming on. Courts have long since disposed with the silly notion of justice that ruins life for the corrupt and criminal rich, and of course cuts into judges perks. Of course it is an insult to any honest Indonesian. But there you go, you makes yer bed......
4 years sentence? Don't worry, he'll be out in less than 1 year.

Jakarta. Controversial businessman Anggodo Widjojo has been jailed him for four years after the Anti-Corruption Court convicted him of attempted bribery.
The jail term, delivered by presiding Judge Tjokorda Rai Suamba, is less than the prosecution’s demand of six years.
Attempted bribery carries a minimum 3-year sentence and a maximum jail term of 12 years.
Anggodo was found guilty of attempting to bribe officials from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) with as much as Rp 5.1 billion ($566,000) in an attempt to get it to drop a corruption case against his brother, Anggoro Widjojo, who is still at large.
The prosecutor also recommended Anggodo be fined Rp 200 million.
Anggodo’s lawyer, OC Kaligis, appealed the sentence.
Anggodo is a hugely controversial figure and was central in an alleged plot to bring down the respected KPK. Elements of the National Police and Attorney General's Office were also alleged to have been involved.
