The government, once again, is applying a policy of import quotas. This will lead to collusion and bribery.

Abraham Samad said, what happens to Hilmi depends on the
development from the case trials against Luthfi Hasan Ishaaq and
Ahmad Fathanah.

Although the government has planned to accelerate import to meet
demands during Lebaran, no plans are being formulated for the
following period.

KPK spokesman Johan Budi said Luthfi's sentence can be used to probe Minister
Suswono's role in the beef import scandal.

KPK prosecutors said the former president of the PKS is "legitimately and
convincingly guilty" of corruption and money laundering.

Beef import graft defendant, Fathanah, burst into tears,
pleading for a leniency in his sentence.

There is no reason to not investigate Bunda Putri if KPK has
found a lead regarding her role in the beef import graft, says
KPK Deputy Chief.

Sefti Sanustika, the wife of beef import graft convict Fathanah,
could be facing criminal charges for accepting graft money.

Prosecutors demand judges to give Fathanah 7.5 years imprisonment and Rp500
million fines for the bribery charge.

However, Luthfi's lawyer claimed that Luthfiis merely answering
the judges' questions, without having no political intention.
