Mohammad Sudrajat was sentenced to four years' imprisonment after Denpasar District Court found him guilty of possessing crystal methamphetamine (ice) and illegally possessing ammunition for a firearm.At the time of his arrest last year, Sudrajat was head of security at Kerobokan Prison, where the Bali Nine heroin smugglers and convicted cannabis trafficker Schapelle Corby are housed.Denpasar District Court Chief Judge I Nyoman Sutama today said the former security chief was "officially and convincingly guilty'' of the charged crimes.The panel of judges said that Sudrajat had been well mannered during his trial and had no prior convictions, but the crimes were "against the government efforts which are strongly fighting drugs''.
"The defendant was an officer of the prison, (a) security head who was supposed to secure (the prison) but was then involved in drugs,'' he said.
Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of seven years' imprisonment.The court previously heard police found 50 live bullets for a 0.22 firearm in Sudrajat's office at the prison, but he did not have a licence for the ammunition.He was also found with packages of ice totalling 0.3g, which police alleged he was going to deliver to a person in Denpasar when he was arrested last September.
