Indonesia Corruption Convictions Sentenced PT Dok Waiame Manager and BPD Sulselbar Employees to Prison

Two officials of PT Dok and Perkapalan Waiame Ambon – finance manager W. A. L and cashier chief N. R – were named as suspects in a corruption case involving the company's 2020‑2024 budget of Rp 177 billion. An audit by the provincial Financial and Development Supervision Agency found a loss of Rp 18.97 billion, and prosecutors are seeking penalties that could include life imprisonment, up to 20 years in jail, fines and restitution. Investigators continue to interview witnesses and assess possible involvement of additional parties.

In a separate case, two employees of the regional bank BPD Sulselbar, Rolly and Achmad Faidzal, were sentenced by the Makassar Corruption Court to two years' imprisonment each and a fine of Rp 100 million. The court noted that no direct state loss was proven, but found the defendants guilty of corrupt conduct that hindered anti‑corruption efforts, while also citing mitigating factors such as remorse and family responsibilities. The verdict has sparked debate over the line between business disputes and criminal corruption in the banking sector.
