And the money originally was in whose bank accounts?

The South Jakarta District Court on Thursday handed down a four-year sentence and Rp 350 million ($38,000) fine to Inong Malinda Dee’s common-law husband for helping his wife launder funds stolen from her wealthy clients at Citibank.

“[Andhika Gumilang] is proven to be guilty of carrying out money laundering and using fake documents,” said presiding judge Yonisman.

The four-year sentence is lighter than the six years sought by prosecutors.

Prosecutors had said during the trial that Andhika, an actor and model, had received at least Rp 331 million in cash and a Hummer SUV worth Rp 1.1 billion from Malinda since 2009

In addition, he was found in possession of seven fake identification cards which were used to open bank accounts for Malinda’s money.

Malinda, a former relations manager at Citibank Indonesia, is accused of embezzling and laundering a total of Rp 40 billion ($4.4 million) from her wealthy clients between January 2007 and February 2011.

Andhika said he was not planning to appeal the ruling, but he also declined to sign court papers that would affirm his acceptance of the verdict, leaving an open door for a possible appeal.

Prosecutor M. Suwarjana said he would wait for Andhika’s decision.

“If he appeals, we will also appeal,” he said.
