Pinangki Sirna Malasari (DOK. ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The public prosecutor asked the panel of judges to reject the exception of lawyer Pinangki Sirna Malasari. This request is submitted in a replica or response to an exception.

"Rejecting all objections or exceptions filed by the defendant's attorney," said Prosecutor KMS Roni in a follow-up hearing at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, October 21.

The prosecutor emphasized that the charges against Pinangki had been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 143 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code. In addition, the Dakwan letter was also deemed to have described all of the defendants' actions carefully, clearly and completely.

"Thus the argument of the defendant's legal advisory team is false and baseless so it deserves to be rejected and sidelined," said prosecutor KMS Roni.

Meanwhile, the prosecutor called the prosecution for receiving money from Joko Tjandra worth 500 thousand United States (US) dollars through Andi Irfan Jaya based on sufficient evidence. Therefore the prosecutor said that Pinangki's exception had to be rejected.

"These acts have been based on legal evidence which will be proven by the prosecutor at the main examination of the case," he said.

In the previous trial, the Pinangki prosecutor denied all the charges read out by the prosecutor. Some of them were about the charges which did not explain the subject matter carefully.

In addition, Pinangki also admitted that he never mentioned the names of the Attorney General, ST Burhanuddin and the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Hatta Ali during the investigation of the case.

Pinangki also denied that he had committed the crime of laundering billions of rupiah from the proceeds of Joko Tjandra's money. The reason was, Pinangki had an inheritance from her ex-husband who had died.

Attorney Pinangki was charged in three cases. First, the Pinangki prosecutor was charged with receiving 500 thousand US dollars as a down payment for the Supreme Court fatwa so that Djoko Tjandra could be free from imprisonment related to the transfer of Bank Bali collection rights.

The second indictment, prosecutor Pinangki was charged with the crime of money laundering. According to the prosecutor, Pinangki received 500 thousand US dollars from Djoko Tjandra through Andi Irfan Jaya. The US $ 50 thousand was handed over to Anita Dewi Kolopaking, a lawyer. The prosecutor charged the remaining 450 thousand US dollars of money laundering.

"So the total amount of money used by the defendant was USD 444,990 or equivalent to Rp6,219,380,900," said the prosecutor.

Meanwhile, the third indictment, prosecutor Pinangki, was charged with consensus with Andi Irfan Jaya and Joko Tjandra for giving money to officials of the Attorney General's Office and the Supreme Court. The amount of money promised in this evil conspiracy was 10 million US dollars.
