Former Supreme Court Secretary Nurhadi Faces 7-Year Prison Sentence for Graft and Money Laundering
Jakarta — Former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Nurhadi faces a 7-year prison sentence in a case involving alleged acceptance of gratifications and money laundering offences (TPPU).
“We request that the judicial panel impose a prison sentence of 7 years on the defendant, along with a fine of 500 million rupiah, with an alternative of 140 days imprisonment,” stated one of the Public Prosecutors during a hearing at the Corruption Court in Jakarta on Friday (13 March 2026).
In addition to the custodial sentence, Nurhadi has been ordered to pay restitution of 137.1 billion rupiah, with an alternative of 3 years imprisonment.
Nurhadi received these gratifications both whilst serving as Supreme Court Secretary and after his retirement. The gratifications were received through bank accounts in the names of his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono, and several other individuals, including Calvin Pratama, Soepriyo Waskita Adi, and Yoga Dwi Hartiar.
The gratification money was received from various sources. In this case, Nurhadi is also alleged to have laundered a total of 308.1 billion rupiah, comprising 307.2 billion rupiah and 50,000 United States dollars (approximately 835 million rupiah at an exchange rate of 16,700 rupiah per dollar).
The money laundering was conducted by placing funds in accounts registered under other people’s names. These monies were then used to purchase land and buildings, as well as to acquire vehicles.
For the gratification offence, Nurhadi is charged with violating Article 12B in conjunction with Article 18 of the Law on Eradication of Corruption Offences (UU Tipikor) read together with Article 127 Paragraph (1) of Law No 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. For the money laundering offence, Nurhadi is charged with violating Article 607 Paragraph (1) Letter A of the Criminal Code.
Previously, in 2021, Nurhadi was convicted of accepting bribes and gratifications from various case management activities. He was sentenced to 6 years imprisonment after being found guilty of receiving 35.726 billion rupiah in bribes from the Director of PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal (MIT) 2014-2016, Hiendra Soenjoto, in connection with the management of two of Hiendra’s cases. Nurhadi was also convicted of receiving 13.787 billion rupiah in gratifications from various parties with pending cases at first instance, appellate, cassation, and judicial review levels.
