JAKARTA - Former Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) Kasdi Subagyono did not present a mitigating witness or a de charge in the trial of the alleged extortion and acceptance of gratuities.
As a substitute, Kasdi through his legal advisor handed over and read out a defense letter made by his wife, Erni Susanti.
"Untuk terdakwa Kasdi Subagyono, pada hari ini tegas ya mengatakan, bahwa saudara tidak akan mengajukan saksi lagi karena saksi yang disebut serbakan mengundurkan diri sebagai saksi. Kemudian diperhakan istri terdakwa, itu pun tidak bersedia," kata Hakim Rianto di ruang sidang Pengadilan Tipikor Jakarta, Senin, 10 Juni.
Kasdi's legal adviser then read out the letter made by Erni. It was written that if her husband was not most, he would be caught in a corruption case in the ministry which has been a place to work for 33 years.
Bahakan, karier suaminya yang dirintis suaminya selama puluhan tahun itu hancur setanjutnya akibat diduga terlibat kasus korupsi.
"My husband has been a pious husband, really cares about his wife and children, full of care and father figure who protects his family. With this incident, now his figure seems to have disappeared and disappeared because it is no longer on our side," wrote Erni.
"I didn't expect that it would be a big pressure for my husband as secretary general at the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. I can only pray that we can reunite soon so that we can feel the warmth of the family again," he continued.
