Jakarta (B2B) - Sumita Tobing, mantan direktur utama Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI) ditangkap tim Kejaksaan Agung, Kamis (13/3) setelah satu tahun buron.
Kapuspenkum Kejagung, Setia Untung Arimuladi di Jakarta, Kamis menyatakan Sumita Tobing ditangkap di kantor pusat Jaktv, Kompleks Perniagaan SCBD, Jakarta Pusat pada pukul 11.50 WIB.
"Tim Kejagung, Kejati DKI, dan Kejari Jakarta Pusat menangkapnya setelah sejak September 2012 dimasukkan dalam daftar pencarian orang (DPO)," katanya.
Sumita Tobing terbukti secara sah melakukan tindak pidana korupsi secara bersama-sama dalam pengadaan peralatan siaran TVRI yang merugikan negara sebesar Rp12,4 miliar.
Sumita Tobing dijatuhi hukuman pidana penjara selama satu tahun enam bulan dan denda Rp250 juta subsider enam bulan kurungan.
Kejagung pada 2 Mei 2012 gagal mengeksekusi Sumita Tobing, karena ada dua nomor registrasi berbeda pada putusan Mahkamah Agung (MA) dengan nomor registrasi 856 dan 857.
Pada putusan majelis kasasi pada 6 Januari 2011 menyatakannya bersalah dan harus dihukum 1,5 tahun, namun pada 28 Agustus 2009, MA melalui websitenya, menyatakan Sumita Tobing bebas.
Kemudian Kejagung mengirimkan surat kepada MA untuk meminta fatwa sekaligus menanyakan adanya dua nomor registrasi tersebut. MA menjawab surat putusan MA atas nama Sumita Tobing yang dalam register perkara Nomor 856K/Pid.Sus/2009 dan dikirimkan ke Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat tanggal 24 November 2011.
Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesian Attorney Generals Office on Thursday arrested former president director of state-owned television station (TVRI) Sumita Tobing, who has been at large for over a year.
Tobing was arrested at the head office of private television station Jaktv on the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) premises in Central Jakarta at 11:50 a.m., spokesman of the Attorney Generals Office Setia Untung Arimuladi said.
"A team of officers from the Attorney Generals Office, the Jakarta provincial public prosecutors office and the Central Jakarta district public prosecutors office arrested (the fugitive), who was placed on the wanted list in September 2012," he remarked.
Tobing and other officials were proven guilty of being involved in a graft case related to the procurement of broadcast instruments, which led to a state loss of IDR12.4 billion.
She was sentenced to one year and six months in jail and required to pay a Rp250 million fine or serve an additional six months in prison.
The Attorney Generals Office failed to execute Tobings sentence on May 2, 2012, due to two different case numbers being registered at the Supreme Court at the time.
In its verdict dated January 6, 2011, the appeal court had declared Tobing guilty and confirmed a sentence of one and a half year of imprisonment. The Supreme Court had previously acquitted her of all charges on its website on August 28, 2009.
The Attorney Generals Office later wrote to the Supreme Court to ask about the different registry numbers.
