Hendarto, Defendant in LPEI Corruption Case, Demanded 8 Years in Prison
The owner of PT Sakti Mait Jaya Langit (SMJL) and PT Mega Alam Sejahtera (MA), Hendarto, has been demanded an eight-year prison sentence. Prosecutors believe Hendarto is guilty in the corruption case related to export financing from the Indonesia Export Financing Agency (LPEI) in 2014-2015.
“(We demand the panel of judges) to impose a prison sentence on the Defendant Hendarto for 8 years,” said the prosecutor while reading the indictment at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court, Tuesday (12/5/2026).
Prosecutors demand that Hendarto pay a fine of Rp 500 million subsidiary 140 days of imprisonment. Prosecutors also demand that Hendarto pay restitution amounting to Rp 1.6 trillion and 14.95 million US dollars subsidiary imprisonment for 6 years.
Prosecutors state that the restitution payment takes into account evidence that has been confiscated for the state as a reduction in restitution and money that has been deposited by Hendarto. Its value is Rp 3.77 billion.
Aggravating factors in the demand include Hendarto’s actions being deemed not to support the government’s programme in eradicating criminal acts of corruption and efforts to increase national exports. Furthermore, Hendarto’s actions are also deemed to have damaged public trust in LPEI.
“Meanwhile, mitigating factors include the defendant having family dependents and having returned a small portion of the state’s losses,” said the prosecutor.
Prosecutors believe Hendarto is guilty of violating Article 603 in conjunction with Article 20 letter c in conjunction with Article 126 paragraph 1 of the National Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law.
Previously, prosecutors charged the owner of PT Sakti Mait Jaya Langit (SMJL) and PT Mega Alam Sejahtera (MA), Hendarto, with corruption related to export financing from the Indonesia Export Financing Agency (LPEI) in 2014-2015. Prosecutors said the financial loss to the state in this case reached Rp 1.8 trillion.
“Has caused financial losses to the state totalling Rp 1,059,350,000,000 and USD 49,875,000,” said the prosecutor while reading the indictment at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court, Monday (26/1).
Prosecutors said this corruption was carried out by Hendarto together with LPEI officials. They are Kukuh Wirawan as Head of Division I Financing, Ngalim Sawega as Executive Director, Basuki Setyadjid as Implementing Director III, Arif Setiawan as Implementing Director IV, and Omar Baginda Pane as Implementing Director V.
“Has jointly committed criminal acts together with Kukuh Wirawan, Ngalim Sawga, Basuki Setyadjid, Arif Setiawan, and Omar Baginda Pane, where several related criminal acts occurred concurrently, so they must be viewed as continuous acts, namely unlawfully,” said the prosecutor.
Prosecutors said this corruption has enriched several parties. Among them, enriching Hendarto by Rp 1.05 trillion and 49.875 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp 835.6 billion (exchange rate Rp 16,754), so the total is Rp 1.8 trillion.
Hendarto is said to have enriched Dwi Wahyudi by Rp 7 billion and 227 thousand US dollars (equivalent to around Rp 3.8 billion), enriched Arif Setiawan by 50 thousand US dollars (equivalent to around Rp 837.7 million) and enriched Kukuh Wirawan by Rp 500 million and 120 thousand US dollars (equivalent to Rp 2 billion).
“Has caused financial losses to the state totalling Rp 1.05 trillion and 49.875 million US dollars (equivalent to Rp 835.6 billion),” said the prosecutor.
Prosecutors charge Hendarto with violating Article 603 in conjunction with Article 20 letter c in conjunction with Article 126 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 618 of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption (Corruption Law) or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Law.
