SEMARANG - Former Head of Gajahmungkur Sub-district, Semarang City, Ade Bhakti Ariawan, admitted that he had accompanied the handover of Rp350 million to the Head of Corruption at the Semarang Polrestabes and the Head of Intelligence at the Semarang District Attorney's Office.
When Ade Bhakti was examined as a witness in the alleged bribery case of the former Semarang Mayor at the Semarang Corruption Court, he admitted that he accompanied the former chairman of the Semarang City Camat Association, Eko Yuniarto, to hand over the money.
The details of the money given, he said, were based on Eko Yuniarto's explanation of Rp200 million each to the Head of Corruption Crimes at the Semarang Police and Rp150 million to the Head of Intelligence Section of the Semarang City Kejari.
During the handover at the Semarang Police Station, Ade admitted that he was just waiting outside when Eko met in the room.
"The time at my son's office was too late, Mr. Eko was already with Pak Iman," he said in a trial with the defendant Gapensi Semarang chairman, Martono, who was led by the Chief Judge Gatot Sarwadi.
Ade, who is currently the Secretary of the Fire Department, explained that the sequence of giving money to law enforcement officers was referred to as to meet the needs of the sub-district community in April 2023.
He said the series of gifts began when he was about to hand over Rp148 million which was a fee for direct appointment work in Gajahmungkur District to Martono.
The money, he said, was handed over to Lina, Martono's staff at PT Chimarder 777.
According to him, Lina then added the Rp148 million. From Eko's statement, he continued, such gifts have been routinely carried out.

During the trial, Ade Bhakti also explained about the direct appointment project in 16 sub-districts which was referred to as a request from the husband of the former Mayor of Semarang, Arwin Basri.
He said the request for a project by Alwin Basri to be carried out by Gapensi Semarang was known from the results of the meeting of the sub-district heads in Salatiga City.
According to him, from the request for a budget of Rp. 20 billion, it was finally agreed that the financing for the direct appointment project would be Rp. 16 billion.
Regarding the implementation of the work, he also confirmed that there was a fee of 13 percent that had to be deposited with the defendant Martono.
However, he did not know the intended fee handed over to Martono.
Ade Bhakti also said that the sub-district heads wanted to fulfill the request for direct appointment projects by Alwin Basri because they were considered representatives of the Mayor of Semarang Hevearita G. Rahayu.
Based on Ade Bhakti's testimony, the defendant Martono denied the order to give money to law enforcement officials.
"I never ordered to give money, because it was for the needs of the community," he said.
