"Miranda Swaray Goetom was proven guilty of corruption," chief judge Gusrizal said reading the verdict.
Upon hearing the verdict Miranda said she would appeal. "I am shocked. I have never thought (of it). I did not do anything. God knows I have done nothing and therefore I would appeal," she said. In response to the ruling the prosecutors led by Supardi meanwhile said they would think about it.
