On Wednesday, Indonesian judges sentenced General Napoleon Bonaparte to 4 years in prison and a $ 6,900 fine after being found guilty in a corruption case.
Judges in a Jakarta court convicted General Bonaparte of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from a fugitive.
The ruling stated that Bonaparte - who holds the rank of General in the Police - canceled the "Red Notice" issued by Interpol against an Indonesian businessman named Djoko Soegarto Tjandra, who is wanted for embezzling money from a Bali bank.
The Indonesian businessman was arrested in Malaysia last July.
Against the background of the case, a police general with the same name as the famous French military commander, Napoleon Bonaparte, was brought to trial.
Bonaparte was dismissed from his position as head of the international relations division of the Indonesian police, but he retained his rank as a general.
Napoleon Bonaparte of Indonesia denies the accusations on which he was convicted, and said after the verdict, "I have tired of these insults that have continued since last July. I would rather die than accept this humiliation for my family," declaring his intention to appeal.
Indonesia has seen many cases of corruption involving the business community and the authorities, and it is struggling to get rid of the legacy of Suharto, who held power from 1967 to 1998, and who is suspected of embezzling billions of dollars in public funds.
