BPK Member Achsanul Qosasi Called In The 4G Kominfo BTS Corruption Trial

The trial of the BTS Bakti Kominfo corruption case at the Jakarta/PHOTO Corruption Court: Rizky Adytia-VOI

The defendant Galumbang Menak Simanjuntak said the figure of AQ from the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) was Achsanul Qosasi.

The name of the BPK member appeared when the public prosecutor (JPU) revealed evidence of the conversation between former President Director (Managing Director) BAKTI Kominfo Anang Achmad Latif in the Telegram short message application group.

"There was a conversation that'seem like uncle', uncle, what is meant by the witness, this is from Anang's chat, 'needs to face AQ again with me'. Your answer, "not now boss, stop first. This BPK team threatens data that has never been given", asked the prosecutor during a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, October 23.

However, Galumbang admitted that he did not know about the conversation. Thus, the prosecutor shifted his question about the real figure of AQ.

"Do you know who AQ is referring to? Against AQ, AQ," asked the prosecutor.

"Yes, Mr. Achsanul," answered Galumbang.

"Achsanul who?" said the prosecutor.

"Qosasi," said Galumbang.

"Who is Achsanul Qosasi?" said the prosecutor.

"Members of the BPK, the prosecutor," said Galumbang.

However, when the prosecutor questioned whether there was a connection between Achsanul Qosasi and the 4G BTS project fund flow worth Rp40 billion which had led to the BPK, Galumbang admitted that he did not know about it.

"This was then for the sake of the Palapa Ring, who did you open the AQ. It turned out that it was also here at 4G BTS from his statement that the defendant Irwan, there was also a statement to the BPK which was entrusted to Sadikin. Do you know that this has something to do with AQ?" asked the prosecutor.

"I don't know," said Galumbang.

Previously reported, during the trial process, there was a flow of funds in the alleged corruption case of BTS 4G Kominfo to BPK. This was revealed based on information from Windi Purnama when testifying for the defendants Johnny G. Plate, Anang Achmad Latif and Yohan Suryanto.

Windi said that she had given Rp40 billion to a person named Sadikin Rusli who was referred to as an intermediary or BPK representative.
