JAKARTA - Former Member III of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), Achsanul Qosasi is said to have used the code 'Garuda' when extorting Anang Achmad Latif for Rp40 billion.The use of the code in the extortion action began when the defendant Achsanul Qosasi summoned Anang Achmad Latif, who at that time served as President Director of the Kominfo Telecommunications and Information Accessibility Agency (BAKTI) to come to his office, in mid-June 2022.During the meeting, the defendant questioned Anang Achmad Latif regarding the draft report on the results of the examination or LHP from the BPK.Then Anang Achmad Latif said that he had read and stated that the LHP was very burdensome. In response to this, the defendant seemed to threaten by saying there were other reports."Hearing that Anang Achmad Latif was silent, then the defendant Achsanul Qosasi said 'who will help Rp40 billion'," said the prosecutor, giving Achsanul Qosasi's words at the time.The defendant also offered a paper with the recipient's name and the phone number of someone who would receive the money.At that time, Achsanul Qosasi said there was a 'Garuda' code that had to be used when the money was handed over."The defendant Achsanul Qosasi said (to Anang Achmad Latif) 'this is the name and phone number of the recipient and the code of Garuda'," said the prosecutor.Then, Anang Achmad Latif ordered the Commissioner of PT Solitech Media Sinergy, Irwan Hermawan, through the Director of PT Multimedia Berdikari Sejahtera, Windi Purnama, to prepare and hand over the money."On July 19, 2022, the defendant Achsanul Qosasi contacted Sadikin Rusli to meet someone by mentioning the Garuda code," said the prosecutor.Next, Windi met Sadikin at the Grand Hyaat Hotel. The handover of the money was also carried out in the basement.After receiving it, Sadikin Rusli immediately handed over Rp40 billion in cash in foreign currency to Achsanul Qosasi.
