Exception Session, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte Called Joko Tjandra Bribes Faked

JAKARTA - The defendant in the case of alleged red notice removal bribery, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, said that the prosecutor's question about receiving 200 thousand Singapore dollars and 270 thousand US dollars was a fabrication of a fake case.

This was conveyed by Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte through his lawyer, Santrawan T. Paparang, during the defendant's exception hearing at the Corruption Court in Central Jakarta, Monday, November 9.

"The receipt of 200 thousand Singapore dollars and 270 thousand US dollars for the removal of red notices is a fake case fabrication," said Santrawan.

The reason for the indictment was fabrication based on the receipt of money by Inspector General Napoleon, which was owned by Tommy Sumardi, where the allocation was not listed. In fact, the receipt was used by prosecutors and investigators of the Corruption Crime at the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit in making charges.

"With no record of the use of money on the receipt. So, for the sake of law, this true fact cannot be interpreted differently by the Criminal Investigators of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police and by the Public Prosecutor as if the movement of money was moving towards our client, he was the accused, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, "he explained.

In the absence of a record of the designation on the receipt, it is suspected that the prosecutors and investigators for the Criminal and Corruption Eradication Commission used an educational way of thinking. Thus, drawing distant or discontinuous conclusions with evidence to a closer inequality.

Thus, Inspector General Napoleon denied or rejected all charges regarding the receipt of the money.

"The existence of the money receipts, either directly or in person, had absolutely nothing to do with the accused Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte," he said.

For your information, there are several receipts for giving money that Tommy Sumardi received from Joko S. Tjandra. The first was the giving of 100 thousand Singapore dollars on April 27, 2020.

Then, the donation of 200 thousand Singapore dollars on April 28. The giving of 100 thousand US dollars on April 29.

The giving of US $ 150 thousand on May 4, 2020. Then, the giving of US $ 100 thousand on May 12. Finally, the gift of US $ 50 thousand on May 22.

Previously, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) charged Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte with receiving hundreds of thousands of US and Singapore dollars from Joko Tjandra. The money was intended to remove Joko Tjandra's red notice when he was still a fugitive in the case of transfer of collection rights or cessie Bank Bali.

"(Inspector General Napoleon) Received a sum of SGD200,000.00 and an amount of USD270,000.00," said the prosecutor at the indictment trial at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, November 2.

In the indictment, the prosecutor said that Inspector General Napoleon gave the order to issue a letter addressed to the Directorate General of Immigration. The letter was intended to remove Djoko Tjandra's name from the Enhanced Cekal System (ECS) in the Immigration Information System (SIMKIM) of the Directorate General of Immigration.

In the case of alleged bribery for the removal of red notice, investigators named four people as suspects. They act as recipients and givers.

Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte and Brigadier General Prasetyo Utomo were named as suspects because they were suspected of being the recipients of bribes for the removal of red notice. Meanwhile, Tommy Sumardi and Djoko Tjandra were named as suspects on suspicion of giving bribes.
