Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The wife of book-bomb convict Pepi Fernando was sentenced to two years in jail on Monday for withholding information about the terror plot.
The chief judge of the West Jakarta District Court, Moestofa, said Deni Carmelita had been found guilty of violating Article 16 in conjunction with Article 7 of the anti-terrorism law of 2003.
"Deni Carmelita has violated Article 13A by hiding information about a crime and Article 22A and 22C on prevention and obstruction of an investigation," he said.
Though she has three young children, the incriminating factor is that she has kept secret information about her husband's involvement in the bombing, Moestofa added.
The sentence was milder than the prosecutor's demand for 2.6 years in jail. Deni, through her lawyer, Nural HN, accepted the verdict.
Pepi Fernando had earlier been sentenced to 18 years in jail though the prosecutor had demanded life in prison.(IGT)
