Three Former Indonesian Customs Officials Sentenced in BlueRay Case
A Jakarta anti-corruption court sentenced three former Indonesian customs officials to six to nine years in prison on November 12.
Former enforcement director Rizal received nine years, Sisprian Subiaksono received seven, and Orlando Hamonangan received six.

Each man was also fined 1 billion rupiah and ordered to repay money; the amounts varied by defendant.
Their prison terms were below the prosecutors’ requests, although the fines and repayment orders matched the prosecution’s demands.
