Indonesian court jails ex-judge in graft case

Partials Dakar, the second constitutional court judge to be convicted of corruption in three years, was also fined 300 million rupiah ($22,500). 

Dakar was accused of accepting $10,000 in bribes and causing losses to the state. He denied wrongdoing. “I am not wrong, I did not steal the country’s money,” Dakar was reported as saying. 

A lawyer representing Dakar could not be immediately reached for comment and it was not clear if he would appeal the sentence. The Constitutional Court, once regarded as a model of integrity, has  been rocked by bribery scandals in  recent years.
