Widi Prasetijono Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison in Cilacap Regional Public Company's Land Corruption Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Military prosecutors are seeking a 10-year prison sentence for former presidential aide and former Commander of the Diponegoro Military Command, Lieutenant General Widi Prasetijono, in connection with an alleged corruption case involving land procurement for the Cilacap Regional Public Company in Central Java.

"We are requesting a 10-year prison sentence, reduced by the time already served in temporary detention, with the order that the defendant remains in custody," the military prosecutor stated during the trial at the High Military Court II Jakarta on Thursday (22/10/2026).

The prosecutor also demanded that Widi pay a fine of IDR 500 million.

If the fine is not paid, Widi faces an additional penalty of 140 days in prison.

Furthermore, the prosecutor is calling for Widi to be discharged from military service and to pay restitution totaling IDR 21.05 billion.

"The additional penalty is dismissal from military service," the prosecutor stated.

They emphasized that if Widi fails to pay the restitution within one month after the court's decision becomes legally binding, his assets would be seized and auctioned to cover the payment of the restitution.

"If the defendant's assets are insufficient to cover the restitution, a prison sentence of five years will be imposed," they clarified.

In their considerations, the prosecutor highlighted several aggravating factors regarding Widi.

Among these, Widi is seen as failing to take responsibility for his actions and not serving as a good example to his subordinates.

"As the Commander of the Diponegoro Military Command, the defendant did not set a good example for his subordinates," the prosecutor explained.

The prosecutor also noted that Widi's actions do not support the government's program aimed at ensuring a clean and corruption-free state.

Additionally, Widi is accused of benefiting from the corrupt actions and showing no good faith in returning the state's losses.

On a mitigating note, Widi's 33 years of service as a soldier in the Indonesian Army were acknowledged.

Three Other Defendants Also Face Prison Sentences

In the same case, the prosecutor is also seeking prison sentences and restitution payments for three other defendants.
