Headline: Hewitt’s Verdict: Sandra Dewi‘s Silent Christmas and the Fight for Her Assets
Subhead: Jakarta – 2024 brings a heavy burden for Sandra Dewi, with Christmas feeling distinctly different this year.
In the days leading up to Christmas, Sandra Dewi’s husband, Harvey Moeis, was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, fined IDR 1 billion, and ordered to pay IDR 210 billion in compensation for a timah corruption case that allegedly cost the state IDR 300 trillion. The verdict was handed down by the Corruption Court judges.
Sandra Dewi chose not to attend her husband’s sentencing. Her power of attorney, Marcella Santosa, later explained that the crowded courtroom atmosphere was one of the reasons for Sandra Dewi’s absence.
However, what caught public attention was Sandra Dewi’s Instagram account (@sandradewi88). She no longer features Harvey Moeis in her posts, even in their wedding photos. Moreover, she has disabled comments on her posts. Detikcom reached out to Sandra Dewi’s team but received no response regarding the changes on her Instagram account.
Following the sentencing of Harvey Moeis, Marcella Santosa clarified Sandra Dewi’s absence: "Yes, because she also probably considered… maybe you’ve already seen from the live broadcast," she said in Jakarta. "So it’s easier to see the outcome. Thank you also to the journalists who covered it."
In the sentencing, it was mentioned that Sandra Dewi’s assets would also be seized. Harvey Moeis’ legal team disagreed with this decision, stating that Sandra Dewi had already explained in her testimony that some assets were acquired during her career as an artist and should not be seized.
Moreover, Sandra Dewi and Harvey Moeis have a prenuptial agreement, and Sandra Dewi has continually asserted that some seized assets are hers personally. "If all these assets are seized, including those under Sandra Dewi’s name, despite their prenuptial agreement, we will certainly scrutinize this further," said Harvey Moeis’ lawyer, Andi.
Both parties will await the full verdict from the Jakarta Corruption Court to decide their next legal steps. "We haven’t received the full verdict yet, so we don’t know what the basis of this decision is," said Andi. "However, we will consider our next legal steps within the next seven days."
