JAKARTA - The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) is said to have splashed the flow of funds in corruption cases in providing Base Tranceiver Station (BTS) infrastructure and supporting Kominfo for the 2020-2022 period, worth IDR 40 billion.

A flow of funds emerged to the BPK based on information from Windy Purnama, who is a crown witness for the defendants Johnny G. Plate, Anang Achmad Latif and Yohan Suryanto.

It started when Windy said that he was asked to give money related to the 4G BTS project to someone named Sadikin by the defendant Anang Achmad Latif.

"The number (of the phone) of Mr. Anang is someone on behalf of Sadikin. His phone number was given by Mr. Anang via Signal," Windy said during a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, September 26.

"How much?" asked Chief Judge Fahzal.

"I asked who it was for, for the BPK, Your Majesty," said Windiy.

Judge Fahzal tried to emphasize the context of the BPK which was interpreted by Windy. The goal is to equalize meaning.

At that time, Windy said that the BPK in question was the Supreme Audit Agency. Sadikin is referred to as a representative of the recipient of the money.

"BPK or PPK? If PPK is a Commitment Making Officer. For BPK, the Supreme Audit Agency. Which one?" asked Judge Fahzal.

"The Supreme Audit Agency, Your Majesty," Windi replied.

Then, Windy conveyed the process of giving money. It is said that the money was handed over to Sadikin in the parking lot of a luxury hotel in Jakarta.

"Where did Sadikin meet him?" asked the judge.

"Meet you at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. In the parking lot, sir," said Windi.

"How much sir?" asked the judge assertively.

"Rp40 M," said Windi.

Judge Fahzal asked the witness to detail the denominations stored in the suitcase. Windy also mentioned that there were denominations in the United States (US) and Singapore dollars.

"O Allah. Rp40 billion was handed over to the parking lot? What money was it? rupiah or US dollars, Singapore dollars, or the Euros?" Judge Fahzal said.

"Foreign money, sir. I forgot the details, maybe a combination of the US dollar and the Singapore dollar," said Windi.
