Indonesia's corruption court has handed down its longest sentence, jailing for 20 years a former senior prosecutor with the Attorney General's office. Urip Tri Gunawan's conviction relates to his role in burying a case against a banking tycoon who'd been accused of embezzling $US3 billion. It's another victory for Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission.
