Ex-Indonesian Agriculture Minister Sentenced to 10 Years for Corruption

Syahrul Yasin Limpo found guilty of extortion, abuse of power, and bribery, further tarnishing President Widodo's anti-corruption efforts.

Limpo was ordered to pay a 300 million rupiah fine or face an additional four months in prison.
The former minister used illicit funds for luxury purchases, private jets, and political activities.
Several ministry officials testified they were forced to give up 20% of their budgets to Limpo.
Prosecutors accused Limpo of collecting 44.7 billion rupiah from 2020 to 2023.
This case is part of a broader pattern of corruption within Widodo's administration.
