Indonesia – Aside from the rogue taxman and his one-time lawyer, seven others have been tried in relation to Gayus Tambunan's farcical trial at the Tangerang District Court in March. Six have been convicted.

Arafat Enanie

Arafat was one of the police investigators found to have taken kickbacks to tone down the list of charges against Gayus. Arafat was sentenced to five years in prison for "multiple counts of corruption," including receiving a Harley-Davidson motorcycle from one of Gayus's associates.

Sri Sumartini

Arafat's subordinate, she was found guilty of taking Rp 80 million ($8,880) in bribes from Gayus and others in return for watering down the charges against the taxman. She was sentenced to two years in jail.

Andi Kosasih

The businessman from South Sulawesi received a six-year sentence for setting up a bogus business deal with Gayus to make it appear as though he had entrusted $2.8 million to the taxman to buy land and build a shop in Jakarta. The deal was made to cover Gayus's assets while he was being investigated.

Lambertus Palang Ama

Andi's lawyer, Lambertus, received a three-year prison term for drafting the fake agreement between the pair.

Alif Kuncoro

Businessman Alif Kuncoro, an associate of Gayus, was jailed for 18-months for providing Arafat with a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in exchange for not naming his brother as a suspect in Gayus's embezzlement trial.

Muhtadi Asnun

The presiding judge in the Tangerang trial, Muhtadi was found guilty of accepting a bribe of Rp 50 million ($5,500) and was sentenced to two years.
