Vice Chairman Gerindra Fadli Zon review decisions of the judges who sentenced Angelina Sondakh with a sentence of 4.5 years in prison has been corrupted sense of justice.



"This is a bad precedent for the eradication of corruption in Indonesia, and a step backward," Fadli said in a statement in Jakarta, Sunday (13/01/2013).

He said the judge's assessment that Angie is not obliged to return the money to the state, it is far from common sense let alone conscience of truth. According to him, in Article 18 of the Corruption Act governing the return to the country on the proceeds of corruption.

According Fadli, case law indicates that Angie could not reflect the people's sense of fairness, justice conscience even hurt the people of Indonesia. How come, said Fadli, proven corruption and receive money, but was not asked to return the money to the state.

Even punishment is nothing more than a chicken thief sentenced to 5 years jail sentence threat. "Maling chicken are the threats sentence of 5 years imprisonment, while corruption USD 2.5 billion and 1.2 million U.S. dollars, just sentenced to 4.5 years in prison," he said.

He considered the decision did not provide a deterrent for criminals. But according Fadli permissive tend to corrupt practices and corruption in Indonesia will be more trendy.

If you want to give a deterrent effect, according Fadli, criminals have been impoverished by seizing his property as is done in most other countries. He asserted that when the corrupt to some people as a massive disadvantage, criminals can be sentenced to death.

"We encourage the Commission to continue to eradicate corruption but the important thing is not selective and indiscriminate. Corruption has impoverished the people of Indonesia," he said.
