JAKARTA - Entrepreneur Andi Irfan Jaya has denied making an "action plan" for convicted of corruption in the Bank Bali collection rights, Joko Tjandra, as well as being an intermediary for receiving bribes for prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari.

"When I was accused of committing a crime by making an 'action plan', I reiterate, for the sake of Allah, God Almighty, it was not me and it is impossible for people with qualifications and qualities like me to be able to make plans related to legal steps as stated in this trial, "said Andi Irfan Jaya reading out a note of defense (pledoi) at the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor) quoted by Antara, Monday, January 4.

In this case Andi Irfan Jaya was charged with 2.5 years in prison plus a fine of Rp. 100 million, a subsidiary of 4 months in prison because he was proven to have helped take bribes by prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari amounting to 500 thousand US dollars (around Rp.

Furthermore, regarding the giving and receiving of money, Andi Ifran again emphasized that he had never received a penny at all.

Never mind knowing, I even just heard his name when he was examined as a suspect for the last time, "said Andi Irfan.

Andi Irfan also saw himself in the weakest position compared to other parties involved in the case.

"From an economic point of view, capacity, network and knowledge. I am the most helpless person to face this case, maybe so that it is easy for them to sacrifice me, to sacrifice what was previously accused on others and then easily pass the accusation on to me, "added Andi Irfan.
