Saeful was found guilty of bribing Wahyu and former Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) member Agustiani Tio Fridelina with $47,350 in exchange for the KPU commissioner’s approval for fellow PDI-P politician Harun Masiku to replace a deceased politician in the House of Representatives.Read also: WhatsApp thread ‘implicates’ KPU chair in Saeful Bahri bribery trialWhile KPK prosecutors said they were considering to file an appeal, the defendant said he accepted the verdict.While Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) criticized the light sentence, the antigraft watchdog said the KPK should have filed more serious charges against him. Jakarta Corruption Court judges sentenced Saeful Bahri, a member of the ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), to one year and eight months behind bars for his involvement in a bribery case implicating General Elections Commission (KPU) commissioner Wahyu Setiawan.During a verdict hearing on Thursday, the bench also fined the defendant Rp 150 million (US$10,214) or serve an additional four months in prison.The sentence was lower than Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) prosecutors’ demand of two years and eight months’ imprisonment. “The public can see clearly from this case that the KPK has become soft toward corruptors,” ICW activist Kurnia Ramadhana said on Thursday.“How can the maximum deterrent effect be created against corruption if the punishment is still light,” he went on to say, adding that light sentences in corruption cases should be the focus of the new Supreme Court chief justice.Harun, considered a key suspect in the case, is still on the loose after graft busters failed to capture him during an arrest operation in January. His escape and subsequent disappearance have turned the spotlight on Law and Human Rights Ministry and fellow PDI-P politician Yasonna Laoly.While the KPK added Harun to its most-wanted list in January, the antigraft body decided to go ahead with its case against the three suspects without the key suspect’s testimony.Read also: KPK proceeds with bribery prosecution as key suspect Harun Masiku remains at largeOn the same day, KPK prosecutors also indicted Wahyu and Agustiani in a separate hearing for allegedly accepting the bribe. They were charged under Article 11 of the Corruption Law, which prohibits state officials and civil servants from accepting gifts.Apart from the Harun Masiku case, Wahyu was also indicted for allegedly accepting bribes from West Papua Governor Dominggus Mandacan pertaining the selection of provincial general elections commission members last year.According to the KPK’s indictment letter against Wahyu, a copy of which was obtained by The Jakarta Post, West Papua general elections commission secretary Rosa Muhammad Thamrin Payapo allegedly believed Wahyu could help native Papuans be selected as a provincial commission member following a demand from residents.In December, only three native Papuans passed the selection’s initial phase, triggering an uproar among locals. Rosa reported the incident to the governor, who was suspected of sending the money to Wahyu so that the three native Papuans could be eventually selected as commission members.Dominggus then allegedly wired the illicit money to Rosa, who allegedly transferred the Rp 500 million to a bank account owned by Wahyu’s relative in January.Topics : read more

Press Association Holt has had plenty of success working under Lambert before, but after being linked with a move to Villa Park soon after the Scot left Carrow Road, the striker did not get his hopes up when he was again linked with a reunion. But now he is on board, he is looking forward to the familiarities working with Lambert brings. “When it came to the crunch and it was true, I was definitely delighted to get in,” he added. “It was something that nearly happened a couple of years ago when I was at Norwich but never really did. But thankfully he has his faith in me and has come back in. “He gets the best out of people and there is no doubt what he did for me and a few others at Norwich shaped our careers massively. “I know what he expects and I am looking forward to working with him. “He has spoken to me at length and I will try to do exactly what I can for this club. “We all know it is a team in transition. The side are young but they have held their own. “Hopefully I can bring something different, bring some experience to help them along and help them on the pitch as well.” Striker Grant Holt admits his loan move to Aston Villa provides the chance for him to prove he can still cut it at the highest level. The 32-year-old dropped down to the Sky Bet Championship to join Wigan from Norwich in the summer but has endured an unhappy time with the FA Cup winners. Holt scored just twice in 22 appearances and following the departure of manager Owen Coyle, replaced by Uwe Rosler, it seemed his days were numbered. His loan spell at Villa Park reunites him with Paul Lambert, under whom he thrived when the pair were at Carrow Road, and Holt hopes he can repay his manager’s faith in him. “Obviously everyone has noticed I haven’t been playing that much at Wigan,” he told AVTV. “It has been a frustrating year because I went to Wigan and got an injury and that has been hampering me a little bit. “It is a massive opportunity for me, as I was in the Championship last week sitting on the bench. “The way the last five months have gone have summed up my career to a T and how bizarre it has been: going back to the Championship and then coming back to the Premier League is just the way my career has gone and I’ve been very lucky. “I see it as another chapter for me to step on again. I am sure the career I’ve had with the ups and downs has given me belief. “Now it is up to me to show everyone I can get back that success I had with Norwich last season and bring it to Villa. “I am sure with the players he (Lambert) has here it can only enhance me as a person and a player.” read more

For a little more than a year, Jon Gruden has attended every Clemson tailgate.Well, sort of.When Syracuse traveled to Clemson on Saturday, Scott Bagwell held his usual tailgate in Lot 3, outside of Littlejohn Coliseum where the Tigers play basketball. The pregame event — one held by Bagwell and his family in the same spot for more than 50 years — featured orange and purple canopies, fried chicken sandwiches, dozens of koozies and a beverage selection equivalent to that of a small bar. Out in front of the site, presented for all to see, stood Tailgate Gruden, a 4-foot tall bobblehead version of the first-year Oakland Raiders coach.“I don’t mind (Tailgate Gruden),” said Paula, Bagwell’s wife. “It’s just … a few too many beers and he ended up with us, which he shouldn’t have.”On Sept. 16, 2017, Bagwell and his crew of tailgaters invaded a bar parking lot outside of Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Before an 8 p.m. start between the Tigers and Cardinals, Bagwell headed to the bathroom in the bar, which he nor any of his tailgating partners could recall the name of.AdvertisementThis is placeholder textIn the corner of the room, between the bar and the bathroom, stood the yard-gnome version of the 2003 Super Bowl-winning coach dressed in Corona Extra gear as part of an ad campaign. Bagwell grinned. He asked the owner if he could bring Gruden out to his tailgate for photos. The owner obliged.“Just bring him back,” the owner said while walking him out to Bagwell’s crew.When the Clemson crew returned to their tailgating spot after the 47-21 Tiger victory, the bar was locked. Bagwell and his brother-in-law Marty Osborn, among other tailgaters, threw Gruden in the trunk and headed back to South Carolina.“We liberated him,” joked Osborn. He’s even met Swinney. During a “Tiger Walk” before a Clemson home game last year, Osborn brought Tailgate Gruden. He covered the Natural Light box with a tiger towel and the solo cup with a Clemson foam finger.“I figured Dabo wouldn’t stop if he was drinking a beer,” Osborn said.Overly excited, Osborn said he ran down the road to prepare for the Tiger Walk and tripped over a speed bump. Tailgate Gruden took the brunt of the fall and now sports a large crack in the back of his head. Still, it was worth it. Swinney walked by Tailgate Gruden before circling back to rub his head, Osborn said.Andrew Graham | Senior Staff WriterBagwell and Osborn don’t miss games. Last year they skipped a family wedding because “it was the Auburn game.” Next year when Clemson travels to Louisville, the group plans to return to the same bar. And for one undersized member of their crew, it’ll be a homecoming.“He’s going back next year,” Bagwell said. “We’re going to put him in the bar and get a picture so they notice.” Published on October 1, 2018 at 10:02 pm Contact Josh: jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44 Paula said Gruden “wasn’t supposed to come home.” But once he did, her love for projects consumed her. At the time of the heist, Gruden stood on a beach-like surface and sported a Corona visor while his right held a Corona can and his left a bucket of Corona bottles.The Corona symbol over the left side of his chest was sanded off and replaced with a Tiger paw sticker. Paula covered Gruden in a trash bag and spray painted Gruden’s blue visor and polo shirt to orange. The Corona can was replaced with a solo cup. Two Clemson EyeBlack stickers cover his cheeks. The “find your beach” Corona slogan now reads “find your” followed by an orange tiger paw.In Tailgate Gruden’s left hand is his most signature prop: a case of Natural Light, which Bagwell says is an ode to Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney saying “All I know is we’re going to the Natty!” after the Tigers 2016 semifinal victory.Tailgate Gruden has grown a small following among Clemson fans. He has his own Instagram page, and is tagged in posts by people not from the “Oswell” tailgate, as Bagwell and Osborn refer to their weekly gathering. “Kids love him,” the tailgaters said — people take photos with Gruden and nod his bobbing head in videos.“Our biggest thing is just his traveling,” Osborn said.There are non-football milestones for the newest member of the family — he’s traveled to Bagwell’s lake house, met Santa Claus and fried a turkey on Thanksgiving — along with partaking in some of college football’s most storied traditions. In less than a year, Tailgate Gruden has seen Bourbon Street, Clemson, South Carolina, the Orange Bowl and been in the background of ESPN’s College Football Gameday.
