JAKARTA - The trial of the alleged corruption case in the provision of Base Tranceiver Station (BTS) infrastructure and supporters of Kominfo for the 2020-2022 period gave rise to new facts. This is because the Expert Staff of DPR members Nistra Yohan is said to have also received funds worth Rp70 billion.

This fact emerged based on the statements of Irwan Hermawan and Windy Purnama who are crown witnesses for the defendants Johnny G. Plate, Anang Achmad Latif and Yohan Suryanto.

It started when witness Windy Purnama said that the defendant Anang Achmad Latif ordered him to contact someone named Nistra.

"I got a phone number from Mr. Anang (Anang Achmad Latif). The phone number of someone, his name is Nistra," Windi said during a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, September 26.

Hearing this statement, Chief Judge Fahzal Hendri tried to explore the figure of Nistra. However, Windy admitted that he did not know about it.

"Who is Nistra?" asked Judge Fahzal.

"Saya juga pada saat itu pak Anang lewat signal itu pak itu adalah untuk K1," sebut Windy.

Chief Judge Fahzal seemed increasingly curious about the K1 code. Windy was also asked to explain the meaning.

Windy said, from the communication with Irwan Hermawan, the K1 code means Commission 1.

"What is K1?" asked Judge Fahzal.

"Yes, that's why I don't know, sir, I actually asked Mr. Irwan, what is K1, oh he said Commission 1," said Windy.

Turning, Judge Fahzal also questioned Irwan the same thing. However, it is said that the witness did not know for sure.

"Recently I know from my lawyer that he is a political person, a member of the DPR staff," said Irwan.

Until finally, Judge Fahzal asked about the amount of money handed over. It is stated that the nominal amount reaches Rp70 billion.

"How much was it handed over to him," asked Judge Fahzal.

"I gave it twice, Your Majesty. The total is approximately Rp. 70 billion," said Irwan.
