JAKARTA - Azis Syamsuddin's statement regarding the incident of his introduction to Stepanus Robbin Pattuju when he was still a KPK investigator was immediately broken by a member of the panel of judges, Jaini Bashir.

Judge Jaini said, based on Agus Supriadi's statement when presented at the trial, he gave a different statement from Azis.

Agus Supriadai is Deputy Head of the Semarang Police Criminal Investigation Unit with the rank of Adjunct Police Commissioner (AKP)

"I'm just confirming, if there are two different statements, it means that one of them is a lie. We once examined Agus Supriyadi's brother. answered. Only then, appeared to introduce his letting brother, whose name is Stepanus Robin Pattuju. So you asked to be introduced?," Judge Jaini said rebuking Azis Syamsuddin at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Monday, October 25.

Azis denied that statement. "No, Your Honor," said Azis in answer to the question.

"It means that there are two different statements, which we can (do) confront which one is right and which one is wrong," said the judge.

"Because if I want to know investigators or KPK people, it's enough with the commissioner," said Azis.

The judge answered firmly. "Yes, that's a theory. We also understand, we are not stupid," said Hakim.

Then Azis just answered. "Ready, Your Majesty." said Azis. Azis previously admitted that he knew Robin when the KPK investigators came to his house without being invited. Robin's arrival was claimed by Azis Syamsuddin for the purpose of borrowing money because his family was sick.

Azis repeatedly mentioned that Robin always took the initiative to come to his house. Not without an invitation or a request from him.
