Former director of state power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara, Eddie Widiono, was sentenced to serve five years in prison by the Anti-Corruption Court on Wednesday.

Eddie was found guilty for his role in price fixing and corruption related to the project for Customer Information System – Master Plan of Information System (CIS-RISI) at the PLN Disjaya office in Tangerang.

He ordered the PLN General Manager to directly appoint Netway, without a tender, to handle the outsourcing project of CIS-RISI between 2004 and 2006.

The prosecutor had demanded a sentence of seven years.

Presiding judge Cokorda said Eddie was not acting professionally by approving the project in this manner. The court found that Eddie never used a traveler’s check worth Rp 850 million ($92,650) as accused.

The judge also ordered him to pay a Rp 500 million fine.
