Today’s Legal Enlightenment (Thursday, 14 July, 2022) – “STATE FINANCES IN SOES”
The Defendants were employees of the ticketing division of Garuda Indonesia (Persero). The Denpasar District Court punished them of abusing their authority in determining ticket refunds. The decision was strengthened by the Denpasar High Court, then the Defendants filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on the grounds that the criminal act they were accused of was an administrative error.
The Supreme Court rejected their appeal to the Supreme Court on the basis that the actions of the Defendants had complied with the elements of Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law and harmed the state and they were considered as civil servants.
Legal Rule:
The Defendants are considered as Civil Servants because they are people who receive salaries or wages from corporation that use capital or facilities from the state or society.
Supreme Court Decision No. 2120 K/Pid.Sus/2016 dated April 17, 2017
