Atut broke down while lamenting that the 10-year sentence demanded by
the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was too heavy and
shocking.
Tearfully, Atut, who wore a long-sleeved batik shirt and black headscarf,
pleaded to the panel of judges that she was only a victim, and not a
mastermind as accused, in the bribery case involving Akil, who was
sentenced to life in prison for the case.
Ive been victimized! My brother and I have been victimized by sly Akil in
cahoots with Susi and Amir. They all used my name in the bribery scheme
as if I were close to them, Atut said in her statement, referring to her
brother Tubagus Chaeri Wawan Wardana, lawyer Susi Tur Andayani and
Lebak regent Amir Hamzah.
Atut, notorious for living a lavish lifestyle while Banten remains mired in
poverty, was the first female to be elected governor, as well the first
female governor to be arrested for graft.
Thursdays hearing took a dramatic turn when Atut addressed her family
members in her defense statement.
Atut also said that members of her family were now subject to ridicule.
She claimed that her youngest granddaughter Ananda had had to quit
school because of bullying.
