Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto said he was a victim of the communication of his subordinates in the bribery case for handling changes between the time (PAW) of the DPR.
In that case, Hasto was found guilty and sentenced to 3.5 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 250 million.
"I became a victim of the communication of my subordinates, where in this trial I have also stated all the funds, under oath, they came from Harun Masiku," said Hasto at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Friday, July 25.
According to him, in the case decisions number 18 and 28 of 2020, it has been explained in detail about the source of the money used to bribe the Commissioner of the General Elections Commission (KPU) Wahyu Setiawan from Harun Masiku.
"It is very clear, the statement of Saiful Bahri's brother, Donny Tri Istiqomah in this trial as well, all the sources of funds came from Harun Masiku," he said.
In fact, Hasto said that one of the important facts regarding the first phase of funds given by Harun Masiku was not Rp. 400 million. The nominal amount is Rp. 750 million.
"As a result, the brain for Rp600 is reduced by Rp200 to Rp400. But it is Rp750 million," said Hasto.
