A 68-year-old grandfather named Samirin in North Sumatra was sentenced to 2 months and 4 days in prison by the Simalungun Court, Wednesday (15/1/2020). Samirin was convicted after being found guilty of picking up remaining rubber tree sap on a plantation owned by PT Bridgestone. He was proven to have taken 1.9 kilograms of latex which, if converted into rupiah, was around Rp. 17,000. He will sell the sap to sap collectors in order to get money. However, he had not even left the garden area, an officer caught him and took him to the security post. The company also reported it to the police.[1]

Samirin admitted to the judge that he did this because he needed money to buy cigarettes. Legal cases involving the elderly did not only affect Samirin's grandfather. Sad stories about elderly people who have had trouble with the law have happened several times. Here are some of them:[2]

1. The case of Grandma Saulina. Still from North Sumatra, on January 29 last year, a grandmother named Saulina Boru Sitorus (92) was sentenced to 1 month and 14 days by a judge at the Balige District Court, Toba Samosir. The woman who is familiarly called Opung Linda cut down a 5-inch diameter durian tree belonging to her relative, Japaya Sitorus (70), because she wanted to build a grave for her ancestor. However, the judge's decision was questioned because the witnesses presented were the children and wife of the complainant himself. In fact, the people around the site have never seen Japaya plant the durian tree in question. He admitted that he had apologized to Japaya, but he asked for hundreds of millions of rupiah in compensation as a form of peace. Saulina was unable to fulfill the request and finally reported it to the police. Not alone, Saulina's six children were also detained, each of whom was imprisoned for 4 months and 10 days deducted from the prison term.
2. The case of Grandma Asyani. Asyani (70), a resident of Krastal Hamlet, Jatibanteng Village, Jatibanteng District, Situbondo was jailed on December 15 2014. She was found guilty of stealing 7 teak wood that her husband cut down from land Perhutani said was his. Even though he felt that the land was his own, and did not belong to the state-owned company's land. As a result of this, Grandmother Asyani was sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, his party submitted a request for suspension which was granted by the court, so he was declared free on March 16, 2015. Previously, he was already afraid of the threat of punishment that he would receive. "I'm afraid because I want to be sentenced to 15 years in prison, what will happen to me. I can't sleep well. I'm old like this," said Asyani using the regional language.
3. The Case of the Anjol Hasim and Jamilu Nani Couples. Furthermore, the elderly who also stumbled on legal cases in their old age were a husband and wife from Tenggela Village, Tilango District, Gorontalo Regency. They are Anjol Hasim (75) and Jamilu Nani (80) who were proven guilty of stealing 6 bamboo sticks. Both were sentenced to 20 days in city detention as a result of this case. However, the judge only sentenced him to a violation of destroying someone else's area and not an article on theft. That's because the bamboo trees they cut down are actually on their own land that has been sold to other parties. This statement is shown by the sale and purchase agreement.
4. The case of Minah's grandmother. Finally, a legal case involving an elderly person occurred in Banyumas Regency, Central Java. She is Granny Minah (55) who was accused of stealing 3 cocoa pods from PT. RSA worth IDR 2,000. In October 2009, he was sentenced to 6 months in prison. The case was handled by the Purwokerto District Attorney. However, he did not immediately stay in prison and could still work in the garden as usual, as long as the sentence had not been handed down. He has apologized to the company foreman who reported his actions to the police. Minah asked the foreman to bring back the cocoa pods she had brought before. Minah admitted that she did not know that her actions violated the rules, which made her have to deal with the law to that extent.

Police are still hunting for former PSS Sleman team doctor Elwizan Aminudin. As is known, the man who is usually called Amin was exposed as a fake doctor. Sleman Police Chief AKBP Wachyu Tri Budi said the police had summoned Amin for the investigation process. However, Amin did not answer the call and disappeared. Amin is still at large.[1]

"We called/summons (Amin) but apparently he didn't come, and it is suspected that he is now outside the area. We are currently looking for him. He is a DPO (People Search List)," said Wachyu at the Sleman Police Headquarters. So far, continued Wachyu, the police have examined a number of witnesses. Neither from the management of PSS Sleman nor asking for information from the Syiah Kuala Aceh University where Amin claimed to have studied.[2]

From there, the police have also secured several pieces of evidence such as a contract with PSS Sleman and a statement from the university. "We have examined 5 witnesses, both from related management and also evidence that we have secured related to the certificate in question, including a statement from the University of Syiah Kuala stating that the person concerned is not a student from there and several other pieces of evidence" he (Wachyu) said.[3]

The police suspect that Amin is currently outside Java Island. Therefore, his party deployed a special team to hunt down Amin. "We are trying to find the person concerned. We will secure it first because his position is outside the island," said the former Head of the Bantul Police.[4] Previously it was reported that PSS Sleman management finally took legal action and officially reported Elwizan Aminudin to the Sleman Police. Elwizan recently shocked the Indonesian football public when he was exposed as a fake doctor.[5] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

It's been nearly nine months since the death of Marwah Sofiyah alias 'Anjani Bee' whose body was found in the ditch in front of the hotel in Lembang, West Bandung, last March 5 has not yet been revealed. The body of the woman with the 'owl' tattoo, who is a resident of Karajan Village, Karang Hegar Village, Pabuaran District, Subang Regency, was found horribly, covered in sheets and black plastic. Police found a neck wound and bruises on the face.[1]

AKBP (Adjutant chief commissioner of police) M. Yoris Maulana Yusuf Marzuki, who at that time served as the Head of the Cimahi Police, said that this case was difficult to uncover because of a lack of evidence. "We lack witnesses and there is no CCTV at the location where the bodies were disposed of. So we cannot direct the perpetrators of the disposal and murder of the victim," Yoris said, Sunday (26/7/20'). In this incident, the police have examined more than 100 witnesses, including the online taxi driver who last took the victim. "We have examined nearly 120 people but none have been conclusive. We have tried to break all their alibis, but it is still not clear. We have examined all of our close friends, girlfriends and family," said Yoris.[2]

Apart from that, the police also received information that the day before the unfortunate incident, Anjani Bee had met a man in front of a hotel in the city of Bandung. The police immediately checked the list of guests staying the day Anjani Bee met the mysterious man, but nothing. "We have checked all the hotel rooms and even checked one by one the list of guests who stayed that day and the previous day. But nothing leads to the suspected man we are after," he explained. Finally, on November 6, 2020, the Police still have not received any developments regarding this case.[3]

Head of the Cimahi Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Kasatreskrim): AKP (Assistant commissioner of police) Yohannes Redhoi Sigiro said that until now his party was still carrying out developments. But there has been no result that can bring it closer to the perpetrators of this sadistic murder. "Until now, we are still continuing to investigate where, who, and when the victim was killed. But indeed there has been no significant progress," Yohannes said when contacted by detik.com. According to him, it is suspected that the perpetrators of the Anjanii Bee murder were more than one person and were highly trained because the murder was carried out in a very neat manner so that they could disguise the traces of the perpetrators. "Our suspicion is that there was more than one person and was organised. There were different roles for the perpetrators, from those who executed them to those who disposed of the victims. But we are continuing to make efforts to uncover this case," he concluded.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

Team of Hukumindo

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "The New Criminal Code Has Been Passed As Law, Will Be Effective 3 Years Later", "Mengenal Taufiequrachman Ruki, Ketua KPK Pertama", "The 4 Weirdest Judges' Verdicts" you may read also "List of 100 Regional Heads Affected by Corruption Cases by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Unique Case, Accounts of Bird Sellers in Madura Blocked by the Corruption Eradication Commission'.

This bird seller on Madura Island suddenly couldn't access the money in the bank account where he kept the money. Apparently, there is the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) which ordered the blocking of the bird trader's account in Pamekasan. The account that was 'blocked by the KPK' was a BCA (Central Asia Bank) account belonging to a bird seller from Buddih Village, Pademawu District, Pamekasan, named Ilham Wahyudi. Ilham himself only found out about the blocking when he went to the BCA Pamekasan Branch office, Wednesday (25/1/2023).[1]

In the excerpt of the letter issued by BCA dated January 16 2023 it is stated: Based on a request from the Corruption Eradication Commission as referred to in letter R/35/DAK.01.00/20-23/01/2023, January 11, 2023 regarding opening a blocked account on behalf of Ilham Wahyudi on January 13, 2023. Based on that letter, BCA finally blocked Ilham's account. He can not withdraw money but can receive incoming money. When contacted by detikJatim, Ilham said he was confused and disappointed. He even emphasized that he had never accepted a big, strange project. "I never got any project," said Ilham.[2]

Account Name is the Same as the Name of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Suspect

Ilham's BCA account was blocked because he has the same name as one of the suspects in the East Java (East Java) Provincial Government grants corruption case. "The information we obtained, the name and date of birth of the person concerned happened to be the same as the name of the KPK suspect who submitted a blocking request. The differentiating data is in the address," said Head of KPK Reporting Unit Ali Fikri when contacted, Friday (27/1/2023).[3]

In fact, the bird seller's balance was only IDR 2 million. "My balance so far is just over two million," Ilham told, Thursday (26/1/2023).[4]

From the latest information that the author got from one of the online media, that the block regarding this case has been lifted. Things like this could happen. Case closed. And if you have any legal issue with this topic, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.
