Prosecutors named the three judges who cleared Wilmar, Musim Mas and Permata Hijau as bribery suspects, alleging Rp 60 billion was arranged through lawyers and a court clerk to buy the verdict.

The Jakarta anti-corruption court sentenced judges Djuyamto, Agam Syarief Baharuddin and Ali Muhtarom to 11 years each for taking bribes to acquit Wilmar, Musim Mas and Permata Hijau; former court chief Muhammad Arif Nuryanta got 12.5 years.

The Jakarta anti-corruption court sentenced Muhammad Syafei, head of social security legal at Wilmar's Indonesian unit, to six years for helping channel about Rp 60 billion (US$4 million) in bribes to the judges who acquitted Wilmar.

On appeal, the Jakarta High Court raised the sentence of Wilmar's former legal head Muhammad Syafei from six to eight years and his fine to Rp 500 million for helping bribe the judges who acquitted Wilmar.
