JAKARTA - Witness Irfan Widyanto admitted that he did not know that he was included in Ferdy Sambo's subordinates in the Red and White Special Task Force (Satgassus).

The claim and rebuttal began when he was questioned by legal adviser Agus Nurpatra regarding his membership in the Red and White Task Force.

At the same time, Mr. FS Kasatgas Merah Putih, Ari Cahya is also a member of the Task Force, and the witness is also a member of the red and white, right? asked legal adviser Agus Nurpatra during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Thursday, December 15.

At that time, Irfan Widyanto was silent. Until then, the defendant's legal adviser repeated his question.

Then, Irfan said he did not know anything about membership in the structure of the Red and White Task Force.

"Brother, a member of the Putuh Red Task Force at the same time as July 8?" asked the legal adviser.

"Don't know," replied Irfan.

Chief Judge Akhmad Suhel, who heard of the debate, took command. He emphasized questions from legal advisors.

"It means that the witness is still a member of the Red and White Task Force or...?" asked the judge.

"Yes, the witness is the Red and White Task Force," said the legal adviser.

"That's the question?" asked the judge.

However, Irfan again evaded his membership in the Red and White Task Force. He argued that he did not know about it.

"I don't know," replied Irfan.

"How come you don't know. You are a member or not. How come you don't know?" asked the judge in response.

"Because he never received His Sprin, Your Majesty," replied Irfan.

"It's just a matter of saying yes or no," said the judge.

"No," replied Irfan.

Irfan Widyanto is a member of the Red and White Task Force. Based on the testimony of other witnesses, he was registered as number 302.

Irfan Widyanto was presented as a witness in the obstruction of justice case for the defendants Hendra Kurniawan and Agus Nurpatra. The last two names were jointly charged with obstructing the investigation into the case of the death of Brigadier J.
