A Presidential aide on legal affairs said that the graft convict Gayus H. Tambunan, who has been sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment, would not receive any remission in the upcoming celebration of the nation’s 66th anniversary.
“It is false that Gayus would get remission. He haven’t yet reached a third of his time in prison,” presidential aide Denny Indrayana said Saturday as quoted by Kompas.com.
On Thursday, the media reported that Gayus was eligible to receive remission.
Gayus is currently serving a prison term for bribing a judge and two police officers, and also for embezzling tax money worth Rp 28 billion (US$3.27 million).
Law and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar also denied that the ministry had granted Gayus a remission. (rpt)
