JAKARTA- INDONESIA'S feared anti-corruption court handed jail sentences on Wednesday to sitting and former lawmakers convicted of corruption.

Lawmaker Antony Zeidra Abidin and Hamka Yandhu were found to have received part of US$9.3 million (S$13.7 million) embezzled from the central bank in a case that has seen the jailing of the bank's former chief and the arrest of a relative of President Susilo Bambang Yuhdoyono.

'Hamka Yandhu and Antony Zeidra Abidin have been proved legally and convincingly to have been corrupt by receiving each 500 million rupiah (S$68,504),' chief judge Masrurdin Chaniago told the court.

Abidin was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison and fined 250 million rupiah and Yandhu was jailed for three years and fined 150 million rupiah.

The embezzled money was part of 100 billion rupiah taken from Bank Indonesia (BI) to bribe lawmakers considering a law governing the central bank's operations and to pay for lawyers to defend bank officials accused of separate earlier corruption charges.

Former BI Governor Burhanuddin Abdullah was sentenced to five years in jail in October for his role in the embezzlement.

Former central bank deputy chief Aulia Pohan, the father-in-law of president Yudhoyono's son, was arrested in November. -- AFP
