JAKARTA - The defendant Chuck Putranto admitted that he had been shown the contents of the WhatsApp chat by Yosua alias Brigadier J. At that time Chuck saw a history of conversation between Brigadier J and Putri Candrawati.

This confession began when the public prosecutor (JPU) mentioned the former Karo Paminal Hendra Kurniawan had shown evidence of the conversation history of Putri Candrawathi and Brigadier J on July 9.

Chuck Putranto also agreed. He said he also read the conversation between the two.

"What's the WhatsApp?" asked the prosecutor during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Thursday, January 12.

"Regarding Whatsapp, the conversation between Mrs. Putri and the sister of the late Yosua," replied Chuck.

Then, the prosecutor asked Chuck to explain in detail the moment when Hendra Kurniawan offered the conversation history.

"Yes, he (Hendra Kurniawan, ed) said that he thought there was a relationship or not," said Chuck.

After reading the conversation history, Ferdy Sambo's former subordinate assessed that there was nothing special or more relationship than an aide and supervisor. This is because Putri Chandrawathi and Brigadier J only talk about work.

"If I read the time it was a normal thing because it was Mrs. Putri when she spoke like that," said Chuck.

"Isn't what is in it?" asked the prosecutor.

"What I remember the discussion was that the issue of Bhayangkara's anniversary came to the house around like that," said Chuck.

Chuck Putranto is Ferdy Sambo's former subordinate at the Police Propam Division. He was jointly charged with obstructing the investigation into the death of Brigadier J.

He was charged with participating in securing CCTV DVR from around Ferdy Sambo's official residence, precisely at the security post of the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta.

Thus, it is suspected of violating Article 49 in conjunction with Article 33 subsidiary Article 48 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 32 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law Number 19 of 2016 and/or the second indictment of Article 233 of the Criminal Code subsidiary Article 221 paragraph (1) to 2 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to (1) of the Criminal Code.
