In February 2012 the KPK named him a suspect in a second case, alleging that he was responsible for budget misappropriations committed by organizing committees of 16 international events organised by the Department of Foreign Affairs in 2004 and 2005, causing losses to the state of approximately US$ 1,2 million. In court, Sudjadnan claimed that he was acting on the instruction of President Megawati Sukarnoputri and the foreign minister, Hassan Wirajuda. He said that after the Bali bombings and several other terrorist attacks in 2002 - 2005, the Government had sought to improve the country’s image by hosting as many international conferences as possible. He took pride in putting together 16 international conferences in just two years, claiming that the events have returned far more money to the Indonesian economy than the cost to the Indonesian Government. During the court proceeding he claimed that one of the international conference in which he proudly took leading role, was in the Tsunami Summit, January 5 - 6, 2005 that had yielded in sum of US$ 4.3 billion (approx. Rp. 46 trillion) pledges made for Aceh Tsunami rehabilitation and reconstruction, by tens of head of state and government and a number of heads of international financial institution such as the World Bank, IMF, ADB etc who attended the Tsunami Summit. The former Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla who appeared during the court proceeding in April 2014 testified that Sudjadnan as Secretary General of DFA, acted under an emergency situation to approve the Summit budget that should not be charged as committing corruption. Sudjadnan also claimed that financing for all 16 conferences was approved by the Ministry of Finance. In July 2014 Sudjadnan was sentenced to 30 months in prison for graft..Sudjadnan was released after served far less than 30 months at Sukamiskin prison.
