THE man at the center of Indonesia's most closely watched corruption scandal was sentenced yesterday to seven years in jail for pocketing millions of dollars from big companies so they could avoid paying taxes.
In addition to embezzling at least US$2.7 million, a -relatively small sum in a nation considered one of the world's most graft-ridden, the web of involvement allegedly -included everyone from senior police and immigration officials to warden chiefs and judges.
More spectacularly, authorities revealed that Tambunan had allegedly bribed his way out of prison at least 68 times from the time of his arrest almost one year ago.
Tambunan was captured on camera attending a -tennis match on the resort island of Bali in November, clumsily disguised in a black wig and sunglasses.
"The defendant has been found guilty of corruption ... and of giving false -information about the amount of money he amassed," said -Albertine Ho, presiding judge of the South Jakarta District Court
Tambunan, who earned just US$1,300 a month as a mid-level tax official, admitted during his trial to taking bribes from more than a dozen big companies.
