Former Sleman Regent Sri Purnomo Faces Corruption Verdict Hearing Today
The alleged corruption case regarding Sleman Regency’s Tourism Grant Funds, with the defendant being former Sleman Regent Sri Purnomo, has entered its final phase. Sri Purnomo is scheduled to undergo the verdict hearing today.
Although detikJogja’s observation shows that the verdict hearing agenda is not yet listed in the Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) of the Yogyakarta District Court (PN Jogja) this morning, PN Jogja has confirmed that the verdict hearing will be held today (23/4).
“As per the schedule (Sri Purnomo’s verdict hearing will be held today),” explained the court spokesperson Judge Muhammad Ismail Hamid when contacted by detikJogja on Thursday (23/4/2026).
The Public Prosecutors (JPU) previously demanded a sentence of 8 years and 6 months imprisonment for Sri Purnomo. This demand was presented by prosecutors Kusuma Eka Mahendra Rahardjo and Rindi Atmoko alternately during the hearing for reading the indictment at PN Jogja on Friday (13/3).
In their indictment, the JPU stated that Sri Purnomo was not proven to have legally and convincingly committed the criminal act of corruption as per the primary first charge. Namely, Article 2 Paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law No. 20 of 2001 on Amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) No. 1 of the Criminal Code.
“One, declare the defendant not legally and convincingly committed the criminal act of corruption as per the primary first charge,” explained the JPU during the hearing at PN Jogja on Friday (13/3).
“Two, acquit the defendant from the primary first charge mentioned above,” continued the JPU.
However, the JPU assessed that Sri was proven legally and convincingly to have committed the criminal act of corruption as per the subsidiary charge. The prosecutors requested the judge to sentence the defendant to 8 years and 6 months imprisonment and a fine of Rp500 million.
Namely, Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law No. 20 of 2001 on Amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) No. 1 of the Criminal Code.
“Impose a prison sentence on the defendant of 8 years and 6 months and a fine of Rp500 million; if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced with 3 months imprisonment,” explained the JPU.
In addition, the JPU also requested that the regent for the periods 2010-2015 and 2016-2021 pay restitution amounting to Rp10,952,457,030. This amount matches the state losses in this case.
“Order the defendant to pay restitution of Rp10,952,457,030,” said the JPU.
The JPU continued that if within one month since the court decision gains legal force (inkrah), Sri Purnomo fails to pay the restitution, his assets will be seized and auctioned to cover the restitution.
“In the event the defendant does not have sufficient assets to pay the restitution, he shall be sentenced to imprisonment of 4 years and 3 months,” added the JPU.
