BOGOR - The inactive regent of Bogor, Ade Yasin presented Inspector IV of the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Arsan Latif as an expert witness in the trial for alleged bribery of the BPK auditor at the Bandung Corruption District Court, West Java, West Java, Monday, August 29.

Arsan gave his views regarding allegations by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who charged Ade Yasin with being involved in allegations of unqualified opinion (WTP) with an auditor of the West Java Representative BPK.

Meanwhile, the KPK Prosecutor presented a witness who is an expert in constitutional law, Wiriawan Chandra, who is a lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Atma Jaya University, Yogyakarta.

The trial period led by Chief Justice Hera Kartiningsih has presented 39 witnesses from the KPK Prosecutor, with four defendants, namely Ade Yasin, Head of Sub-Directorate of BPKAD Ihsan Ayatullah, Secretary of the PUPR Service Adam Maulana, and PPK of the PUPR Service Rizki Tufik Hidayat.

At the previous hearing, BPK auditor Anthon Merdiansyah when he was a witness to the KPK Prosecutor denied the conditioning of an unqualified opinion (WTP) with Ade Yasin.

Anton admitted to the panel of judges that he had met with Ade Yasin in October 2021, but not in the context of conditioning WTP.

"At that time, when Mrs. Ade mourned, her husband, Mrs. Ade, died. I at the same time express my condolences, its nature friendship. (The discussion) is related to omnibuslaw, handling COVID, it is general in nature," he said. Anton was confiscated by Antara.

The reason is, even though he is in charge, Anthon does not have the authority to disclose the examination results report (LHP) on local government financial reports (LKPD).

"You don't have the authority. (All the examiners) don't," Anthon told the panel of judges.
