Article:
Jakarta, Dec 31 – A intimate moment between actress Sandra Dewi and her husband, businessman Harvey Moeis, caught on camera inside a courtroom has gone viral on social media. Here’s the story behind the viral video.
Video footage circulating online shows Sandra Dewi approaching Harvey Moeis, who was seated in the defendant’s chair, accompanied by his defense lawyer. Sandra then embraced Harvey, and they exchanged a few words. In the video, Harvey can also be seen caressing Sandra’s head. One of the judges was seen smiling during this moment.
The account that uploaded the video claimed that it occurred during the verdict reading. However, the actual moment occurred during the hearing of the witness examination.
The story behind this viral moment unfolds as follows: Sandra’s embrace with Harvey happened after she testified in the corruption case involving a massive state loss of Rp 300 trillion at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on October 10, 2024. Sandra testified as a witness for her husband. Besides Sandra, the prosecutors called Harvey’s younger sister, Mira Moeis, and Sandra’s younger sister, Kartika Dewi, as witnesses. Both Mira and Kartika also approached and hugged Harvey after the hearing.
During her testimony, Sandra referred to Harvey as her "beloved husband." When asked about their relationship, Sandra confidently replied, "I know him very well, Your Honor, he is my beloved husband."
Other witnesses, Kartika and Mira, also expressed their familiarity with Harvey. Kartika said, "Of course, he’s my brother-in-law," while Mira added, "He’s my brother."
Now, Harvey Moeis has been sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in prison. The judge, Eko Aryanto, ruled that Harvey was guilty of committing corruption and money laundering, leading to a massive state loss. Along with the prison sentence, Harvey was also fined Rp 1 billion and ordered to pay Rp 210 billion as a form of restrictive civil penalty.
The judge considered Harvey’s polite demeanor during the trial and his family responsibilities in deciding the sentence. The prosecutor has filed an appeal, arguing for a harsher sentence than the one imposed. Initially, the prosecution sought a 12-year imprisonment, a Rp 1 billion fine, and to collect Rp 210 billion as a restrictive civil penalty.
