Heavy Sentence for Vadel Badjideh Highlighted, Legal Counsel Ready to Appeal

The nine-year prison sentence and a fine of IDR 1 billion imposed on Vadel Badjideh are deemed very heavy by his legal team. Oya Abdul Malik even compared his client's punishment to the sentences received by corruptors in Indonesia, which are sometimes much lighter even though the state losses reach trillions of rupiah.

According to him, the punishment received by Vadel is not proportional and he feels that his client has been wronged by this ruling. This feeling of objection is one of the main motivations behind the appeal to the High Court.

Oya Abdul Malik openly expressed his feelings about the injustice felt by his client when met at the South Jakarta District Court on Monday (6/10/2025).

"Vadel is not a corruptor, Vadel is not a drug lord, not a criminal. Corruptors have sentences of up to 4 years, with no fines. In fact, there are corruptors who embezzled 2.3 trillion, and their sentence is only 12 years, with a fine of 500 (million). Vadel has 1 billion, Boss," said Oya.

He also invited the media to imagine being in Vadel's position. According to him, no one would accept the accusation of impregnating someone if, in reality, that person was already pregnant before they met.

"If you were Vadel, would you object? Suppose that happened to you. You are accused of impregnating someone who was already pregnant before knowing you. Would you accept it or not?" he said.

Oya emphasized that he works as a legal representative pro bono, or without payment. This makes him even more enthusiastic about fighting for Vadel's legal rights, which he believes have been violated.

"So, that’s my effort as a legal representative. I am pro bono. So, I am definitely fighting for my client's legal rights, which I believe, according to the facts, have been oppressed," he said.

The legal representatives will not stop at the appeal effort. They are ready to pursue all available legal avenues up to the highest level to prove the truth.

"Whether it’s an appeal, cassation, or a review (Peninjauan Kembali), I will strive for it," concluded Oya Abdul Malik.
