“As usual with these types of events, it’s best I think to deal with these things calmly, directly and in a way that best assists the citizen,” he told reporters in Jakarta.
The offences were committed between December 2010 and June 2017, the judges said, not from 1995 as initially alleged. The charge carried a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Prosecutor Sieng Sok said he “agreed with the decision of the court”, but defence lawyer Kong Sam Onn said the evidence was insufficient to convict his client.
“After seven days of hearings we have seen so little evidence to put the burden on James in accusing him of being a secret agent, a spy that affects the national defence, or accusing him of espionage or anything against the government,” Sam Onn said.
