Prosecutor Pinangki SIrna Malasari (BETWEEN)

JAKARTA - Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari and Anita Kolopaking testified differently about the US $ 50,000 bill. This money is a legal fee from Joko Tjandra.

Pinangki denied ever giving money to Anita. Meanwhile, Anita said that she had received money from Pinangki.

The difference in testimony started when the public prosecutor (JPU) questioned Anita with questions about the legal fee money. In her testimony, Anita said that she had been given 50,000 Americans directly from Pinangki on November 26, 2019 at the Essence Dharmawangsa Apartment.

"Have you ever, want a deposit, want witness money, have you ever given Anita USD 50 thousand in 2020 around February-March," asked the prosecutor to Pinangki during a trial at the Corruption Court, Central Jakarta, Thursday, January 7.

But Pinangki firmly denied when the prosecutor asked a similar question. Pinangki said that he never gave Anita Kolopaking a dime.

"2020, 2019, never," answered Pinangki

Then, the prosecutor revealed evidence of the conversation between Pinangki and Anita. In the conversation, Pinangki stated that he had received money from Joko Tjandra which was intended for Anita.

"(Evidence) Point 1.017, this is WA, the witness is the problem. You convey that here, 'And I have given a fee from JC for you in the amount of 50 thousand.' Is that the witness's own language, do you deny it or not ?, "said the prosecutor.

Pinangki then replied with the same statement. He said that he had indeed given money to Anita. But the intention was canceled because he did not believe it anymore because Anita had the intention to trap him.

"I denied it, sir," said Pinangki.
