JAKARTA - Witness at the trial in the case of alleged gratification of the Supreme Court (MA) fatwa arrangement, Anita Kolopaking explained the contents of the conversation with Joko Tjandra. A conversation took place when Anita met Joko Tjandra in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on November 19, 2019.

In front of the panel of judges, Anita said that Joko Tjandra asked for help to be able to restore his tarnished good name because he was a fugitive in the Bank Bali cassie case.

"Help me (Joko Tjandra needs legal truth. I want to have a good name. That is the essence of the meeting," said Anita at the trial at the Tipokor Court, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, November 25.

Anita did not deny that the meeting discussed much with Joko Tjandra. But the discussion that becomes the main focus is only about the decision (MA) to execute him.

Originally, Joko Tjandra should have been executed based on the decision of the Supreme Court (MA) referring to the Supreme Court decision Number 12 PK / Pid.Sus / 2009 which received the Prosecutor's PK which declared Djoko Tjandra guilty and sentenced to 2 years in prison and handed over money from Bank Bali amounting to Rp.546,166 billion to the state treasury.

"If the point of my conversation with Joko Tjandra was to be honest, there were a lot of talks, but at the most he said Anita please help me I want my law to be upheld," he said.

With this request, Anita's attorney agreed to the request. To ensure that Joko Tjandra's PK decision is non-excutable (or has permanent legal force but cannot be executed), Anita said she would ask Joko Tjandra's legal status to the Attorney General's Office.

"I studied his (Joko Tjandra) file on the web, I said yes, this is a legal problem if I look at the PK that it is non-executable," he said.

Joko Tjandra was previously a fugitive in the case of transfer of rights which resulted in the replacement of Bank Bali's creditors worth IDR 904 billion. The AGO once detained Joko Tjandra from 29 September 1999 to August 2000.
