Prosecutor Asks Judge To Reject Exception, Lawyer: It Is Not Clear When Pinangki Received The Money

JAKARTA - Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari, Aldres Napitupulu, emphasized that the public prosecutor (JPU) still has not explained in detail regarding the objection note (exception) on the indictment. Receipt of money charged to Pinangki is called a lawyer, the date of receipt is not explained.

"The public prosecutor still did not explain the things that we conveyed in our exception, namely it was not clear when, this Pinangki received the money from Andi Irfan Jaya," said Aldres to reporters, Wednesday, October 21.

According to Aldres, the objection submitted by his party was because the indictment was not listed regarding Andi Irfan Jaya being questioned about the provision of money.

In addition, the prosecutor's indictment only mentions that Pinangki received money from Andi Irfan Jaya in several places by using words or which can be interpreted as uncertain.

"(The prosecutor) accuses him (Pinangki) of accepting money from Andi Irfan Jaya if he is not in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, or, or, or most of it or so," he said.

"We can see whether it is clear or not, in our opinion it is not clear, but according to the public prosecutor it is clear, so the public will be able to assess it later," he continued.

Aldres also touched on the money laundering (TPPU) indictment. According to him, the charge was not right because the prosecutor did not explain the form of money laundering that was carried out by his client.

"We said it was unclear where to disguise it, where the layering of money laundering in this case, then he answered that it was used for personal gain. After all, it is not money laundering, that is the name if it is true, yes it is enjoying the proceeds of crime," he explained.

In fact, the matter of Pinangki being accused of consenting to bribe officials at the Attorney General's Office and the Supreme Court is also considered unclear. The reason is that it is still not clear who the official figure will be.

"But the indictment does not mention who the official is. Indeed, there is only one official at the AGO and the Supreme Court," he said.

In a follow-up hearing, the public prosecutor asked the panel of judges to reject the exception of lawyer Pinangki Sirna Malasari. This request is submitted in a replica or response to an exception.

"Reject all objections or exceptions submitted by the defendant's attorney," said KMS Prosecutor Roni in a follow-up hearing at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, October 21.

The prosecutor emphasized that the charges against Pinangki had been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 143 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code. In addition, the Dakwan letter was also deemed to have described all of the defendants' actions carefully, clearly and completely.

"Thus the argument of the defendant's legal advisory team is false and baseless so it deserves to be rejected and sidelined," said prosecutor KMS Roni.

The Pinangki prosecutor was charged in three cases. First, the Pinangki prosecutor was charged with receiving 500 thousand US dollars as a down payment for the Supreme Court fatwa so that Djoko Tjandra could be free from imprisonment related to the transfer of Bank Bali collection rights.

The second indictment, prosecutor Pinangki was charged with the crime of money laundering. According to the prosecutor, Pinangki received 500 thousand US dollars from Djoko Tjandra through Andi Irfan Jaya. The US $ 50 thousand was handed over to Anita Dewi Kolopaking, a lawyer. The prosecutor charged the remaining 450 thousand US dollars of money laundering.

"So the total amount of money used by the defendant was USD 444,990 or equivalent to Rp6,219,380,900," said the prosecutor.

Meanwhile, the third indictment, prosecutor Pinangki, was charged with consensus with Andi Irfan Jaya and Joko Tjandra for giving money to officials of the Attorney General's Office and the Supreme Court. The amount of money promised in this evil conspiracy was 10 million US dollars.
