JAKARTA - Former Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Johnny G Plate denied any involvement in enriching himself and others as well as consortium companies in the alleged corruption case of providing 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) infrastructure for the 2020-2022 period.
The Public Prosecutor (JPU) said it was not based on law because the indictment had been clearly described regarding his role and actions.
"It is not true and not based on law because the public prosecutor in the indictment has described carefully, clearly, and completely the role and actions of the defendant and other perpetrators in realizing a offense that resulted in state financial losses and in addition to enriching the defendant has also enriched others and corporations," said the prosecutor at the trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, July 11.
In addition, in the indictment, the prosecutor emphasized the process of compiling it based on evidence. Thus, the exception of the Johnny G Plate camp which is considered to have touched the subject matter of the case must be proven in the trial process.
"Thus, the reason for the material objection or exception of the defendant's legal advisor has been included in the assessment of the facts or the subject matter of the case, which will be proven at the trial of the main case," he said.
Moreover, the exception material from Johnny G Plate's legal advisor is considered irrelevant. This is because it has exceeded the limitative limits stipulated in Article 156 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
"Thus, the argument for the objection to the exception of the defendant's legal adviser is not based on law and must be put aside or not accepted," said the prosecutor.
In this case, Johnny G Plate was charged with causing state losses of Rp. 8 trillion in the corruption case of providing 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) infrastructure for the 2020-2022 period.
In addition, he was also charged with enriching himself Rp17.8 billion with receiving money and facilities from other defendants.
