JAKARTA - The trial of the alleged bribery case for handling the replacement between the time (PAW) of the DPR for the 2019-2024 period and the obstruction of Harun Masiku's investigation with the defendant PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto was again held at the Jakarta Corruption Court today. It is planned that Hasto Kristiyanto's camp will present former Constitutional Court (MK) judge Maruarar Siahaan.
"To present one expert, namely Dr. Maruarar Siahaan, the Indonesian Judge and the Constitutional Court Judge," said Hasto Kristiyanto's attorney, Ronny Talapessy, to reporters, Thursday, June 19.
"The presence of Maruarar Siahaan as an expert," said Ronny to explain the interpretation of Law and case decisions number 18 and number 28 which had been inkracht 5 years ago.
The verdict of the case is known in the case that made the former PDIP cadre, Saiful Bahri, a defendant.
Meanwhile, case number 28 is the case of former General Election Commission (KPU) Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan and former General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Commissioner Agustiani Tio Fridelina.
"Where there is no evidence that Hasto Kristiyanto was involved in the Wahyu Setiawan bribery case, but there was a recycling that you just saw so that there was an infiltration or legal smuggling that made Hasto Kristiyanto a defendant without strong evidence but only assumptions," said Ronny.
In this case, Hasto together with advocate Donny Tri Istiqomah, former PDIP cadre Saeful Bahri, and Harun Masiku were charged with giving bribes of Rp 600 million to Wahyu Setiawan (KPU commissioner) in the 2019-2020 period.
This bribe is so that Wahyu seeks the KPU to approve the application of PAW for the South Sumatra Election Candidate (Sumsel) I on behalf of DPR Members for the 2019-2024 period Riezky Aprilia to Harun Masiku.
Hasto was also charged with obstructing the investigation by ordering Harun, through the Aspiration House guard, Nur Hasan, to submerge Harun's cell phone into the water after the KPK OTT incident against Wahyu Setiawan.
Not only Harun Masiku's cellphone, Hasto is also said to have ordered his aide, Kusnadi, to drown his cell phone in anticipation of forced attempts by KPK investigators.
Hasto was also charged with Article 21 and Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or Article 13 of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 65 paragraph (1) and Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
