JAKARTA - The continued trial of former President Director of Garuda Indonesia, Emirsyah Satar, was held again recently. During the trial, it was revealed that the sale and purchase transaction of the Silversea apartment in Singapore was a real transaction - a clear and proper one - in which the ownership rights and obligations were the responsibility of Soetikno Soedarjo as the legitimate buyer of the old owner, Emirsyah Satar.

"The agreement is binding on Emirsyah Satar and Soetikno Soedarjo according to Indonesian law, all rights and obligations have been transferred from Emirsyah Satar to Soetikno Soedarjo," said witness Andre Rahadian in a statement received by VOI, Saturday, March 14.

Apart from Andre Rahadian, who works as a lawyer, there were also two other witnesses, namely Victor Agung Prabowo who is an employee of the Garuda Indonesia engineering department and Hardi Rusli who is the husband of Sandrani Abubakar, Emirsyah Satar's son-in-law, the late Mia Suhodo.

Andre Rahadian as a lawyer who helps handle the buying and selling process explained that the sale and purchase transaction of the Silversea apartment is a sale and purchase transaction, and has nothing to do with a bribery case and currently the apartment is owned by Soetikno Soedardjo.

Given the taxes imposed on large sellers and buyers, Emirsyah Satar and Soetikno Soedardjo decided that the sale and purchase did not immediately proceed with the process of changing names. Emirsyah Satar also never hid his ownership of the apartment.

Even though the transaction is not reported against the rules in Singapore, considering that the sale and purchase agreement is subject to Indonesian law, so it does not violate any legal provisions.

Meanwhile, witness Victor Agung Prabowo explained that the discussion regarding the procurement of a machine maintenance program (TCP / total care program) with Rolls Royce was tough and difficult. The difficulties faced by the evaluation team were then reported to the board of directors. "The negotiation difficulty has been updated by team leader Pak Batara to the board of directors," said Victor.

After going through the review and evaluation process carried out by the team, then the team prepares recommendations that are submitted and then they are approved to be followed up at the board of directors meeting.

Witness Victor Agung Prabowo also stated that the team was never directed or intervened by the defendant Emirsyah Satar. The witness also admitted that he had never received any direction from Emirsyah Satar and the team had worked independently.

Victor also explained that by using machine maintenance with the TCP pattern, the aircraft utilization would be maximized because there were no grounded planes.

According to the contract, if there is no engine, Rolls Royce will lend it, so the plane can still fly, besides that, if you use the TMB maintenance pattern, the costs will also fluctuate and cannot be ascertained, so that machine maintenance is more efficient using TCP.

Victor also said that the MOU dated June 15, 2009 between Airbus and Rolls Royce was attached with a "Financial Assistance Agreement" whereby Rolls Royce provides an Engine Consession worth US $ 26.6 million per plane using Rolls Royce engines, so that Garuda will get cashback from Rolls Royce.

Witness Hardi Rusli, who gave testimony regarding the house owned by Emirsyah Satar's in-laws, Mia Suhodo, Hardi explained that he did make an outgoing transaction of Rp. 160 million because Mia Suhodo asked him to pay the house brokerage fee on Jalan Pinang Merah II Blok SK No. 7-8.

At that time, the Witness 'mother-in-law said that the broker needed a fast payment, then Emirsyah Satar had replaced the Witness' money.

When confirmed by the defendant's legal counsel about the ownership of the house, Hardi stated that the house was the house of his mother-in-law and was purchased at the wish of his mother-in-law.

"Those who occupy are also the mother-in-law and when the in-laws die, the house is inherited by their children, namely my wife Sandrani Abubakar and her twin brother Sandrina Abubakar," said Hardi.
