473945Now is the time to investigate him for his other wrongdoings in the prosecution of Antasari and also Muchdi PR.
Cirus is a traitor to the Indonesian people who long for justice.
150mio fine? Wonder how much he got from Gayus; my guess much much much more... so CRIME pays...
Good news, but not a long enough sentence. One can only hope that Cirus's illness is nothing too trivial.

Cirus Sinaga, the former prosecutor accused of bribery and impeding the corruption investigation of disgraced taxman Gayus Tambunan, was handed five years in prison and a Rp 150 million ($17,000) fine on Tuesday.
The charges stem from his handling last year of Gayus’s first trial at the Tangerang District Court. Gayus was eventually acquitted of watered-down embezzlement charges.
“Defendant Cirus Sinaga is guilty of indirectly preventing the investigation, indictment and investigation at the court,” presiding judge Albertina Ho said on Tuesday.
Cirus had been charged with three different counts — enriching himself by illegal means, obstruction of justice and misuse of authority.
Prosecutors had sought six years for Cirus in the case, but Albertina said lenience was appropriate due to the former prosecutor’s previously clean record and poor health.
She also said that Cirus was likely not the only person responsible in getting Gayus off.
Cirus’s lawyer, Palmer Situmorang, said that he would appeal the sentence.

I think it will happen because ultimately: no concert = no kickback.
