The verdict against two company directors in the corruption case involving the procurement of chromebooks in East Lombok is lighter than the prosecutors’ demands. Nevertheless, both must still serve prison terms of more than seven years.
The two company directors were sentenced to seven and a half years and seven years in prison, respectively, in the corruption case concerning the procurement of information and communication technology (ICT) devices in the form of chromebooks by the East Lombok Education and Culture Office in 2022.

“With the provision that if the fine is not paid, it shall be replaced with imprisonment for 100 days,” stated the judge.
Furthermore, the panel of judges ordered both defendants to pay restitution. Defendant Lia Anggawari was sentenced to pay restitution of Rp534 million, while Libert Hutahaean was sentenced to pay Rp3.2 billion.
The restitution must be paid no later than one month after the decision gains legal force. If not paid, the defendants’ assets will be seized and auctioned.
