JAKARTA - Witness Rahmat, who was presented by the Public Prosecutor in the case of alleged bribery in the Supreme Court's fatwa arrangement, admitted that he had received threats from Prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari.

This was conveyed by Rahmat when the prosecutor investigated whether the incident existed or not. Rahmat confirmed that he was threatened by Pinangki while undergoing questioning at the Attorney General's Office.

"If I'm not mistaken when I met Mrs. Pinangki at the AGO," said Rahmat at the Corruption Court, Central Jakarta, Monday, November 9.

Pinangki's anger, said Rahmat, was due to his confession to investigators regarding cell phones. Where in the examination he said Pinangki took his cellphone. However, Pinangki did not admit it and threatened to be strangled.

"Yes, he said 'I didn't take your cellphone' why did you say I took your cellphone, if I'm not mistaken, sir," said Rahmat.

However, it was not explained further about what happened next. The prosecutor also asked another question.

As for Rahmat, it is known that he began to be associated with this case after his photo circulated on social media, showing him with, Attorney Pinangki, Anita Kolopaking and Djoko Tjandra abroad.

In addition, Rahmat was the person who brought Pinangki to meet Djoko Tjandra in Kuala Lumpur in September 2019.

Meanwhile, Attorney Pinangki was charged with three counts, namely the first charge of receiving a bribe of 500 thousand US dollars (equivalent to Rp7.4 billion) from the convicted Bank Bali cessie case Djoko Soegiarto Tjandra.

Second, the money laundering charges originating from the receipt of bribes amounting to 444,900 dollars or around Rp 6,219,380,900 as money given by Djoko Tjandra for processing fatwas to the Supreme Court.

Third, Pinangki was charged with committing an evil conspiracy with Andi Irfan Jaya and Djoko Tjandra to bribe officials at the AGO and MA worth 10 million US dollars.
