Pinangki considered this reason as a way to cover up the proceeds of corruption.
"The source of cash in the form of US dollars was exchanged into rupiah currency at the money changer and then the money was transferred and spent by the defendant, who according to the defendant came from deposits from the husband of the first defendant that could not prove at trial", said the panel of judges in a trial at the Corruption Court, Jakarta, Monday, February 8.
If indeed the money was a legacy from her ex-husband, Pinangki would still be found guilty. Because Pinangki did not report the money in the State Officials' Wealth Report (LHKPN) in 2018.
