The Corruption Court found Djoni Anwir Algamar and Tansean Parlindungan Malau, two former Transportation Ministry officials, guilty of corruption in a graft case Thursday and sentenced them to three years and two and a half years in prison respectively.


The graft case involved the procurement of 20 patrol boats by the ministry in 2007 worth Rp 300 billion (US$32.4 million).


The court previously convicted Dedy Suwarsono, the director of PT Bina Mina Karya Perkasa, the ministry's partner in the procurement, and sentenced him to four years in prison.


Dedy allegedly paid lawmaker Bulyan Royan of the Reform Star Party (PBR) Rp 480 million and paid Rp 685 million to ministry officials, including Djoni and Malau, as the ministry's head of the project committee.


Bulyan was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment last year.
