The nine sugar producers were required to place a security deposit totalling IDR65.34 billion ($44 million) with the Indonesia Attorney General, with DSI’s share worth IDR41.23 billion.
The general manager of Wilmar’s Indonesian subsidiary, Duta Sugar International, has been convicted and sentenced by the Central Jakarta District Court to four years’ imprisonment and to a fine of IDR200 million.
This follows the Indonesian Public Prosecutor’s decision on Oct 20 to charge DSI, along with eight other refined sugar producers in Indonesia for carrying out “unlawful acts” relating to the import of raw sugar causing losses of IDR578 billion in 2016.
