JAKARTA - The staff of the PDI-P DPP (PDIP), Kusnadi, stated that Haru Masiku had entrusted him with a bag and suitcase. It contained the money intended for Donny Tri Istiqomah and Saeful Bahri.

This statement was conveyed by Kusnadi when he was a witness at the trial of the alleged bribery case for the interim replacement (PAW) of the DPR RI and the obstruction of investigation with the defendant Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto.

It started when Kusnadi said Harun Masiku had twice left his bag and suitcase in mid-December 2019. Then, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) asked him to explain in detail.

"How did you suddenly get the deposit? can you tell?" asked the prosecutor during a trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Thursday, May 8.

"When I was relaxing, sir, at the DPP, the DPP staff should have been there, sir. So, suddenly someone was there, he asked me for help," Kusnadi replied.

At that time, Harun Masiku wanted to meet Donny Tri Istiqomah. However, because of certain reasons, Harun Masiku actually left his bag with him.

"So he wants to go out where I don't know, so I asked for help, sir," said Kusnadi.

"Who is the bag for?" asked the prosecutor to confirm.

"To Donny," said Kusnadi.

Then, the prosecutor questioned about Hasto Kristiyanto knowing or allowing Kusnadi to receive a deposit from Harun Masiku. At that time, it was stated that the PDIP Secretary General did not know about it.

"You mentioned earlier that the secretariat staff and have often accompanied Mr. Hasto, were you really like that, when you were entrusted with a bag, handed it over to someone else. Is there knowledge or permission from Mr. Hasto?" asked the prosecutor.

"No sir," replied Kusnadi.

"So if there are people who deposit anything, just accept it, right?" said the prosecutor.

"Yes, I asked for help, sir, and the mandate was Donny and Mas Saeful," replied Kusnadi.

Kusnadi said he did not know the contents of the black bag and only found out when the prosecutor said there was money stored in it.

He said, after being entrusted with the bag, Kusnadi immediately handed it over to the reception. The goal is that if Donny Tri Istiqomah comes, he can immediately take the bag.

"Then how to hand it over to Donny?" asked the prosecutor.

"Later, sir, when I am entrusted from Mr. Harun, I will continue to leave it to the reception, 'I have a donny, so I'll say I want to take it from Mr. Harun', sir," said Kusnadi explaining.

Because he helped leave the bag, Kusnadi got a salary from Donny Tri Istiqomah worth Rp. 500 thousand. The money is said to be a mere thank you.

Not long ago, Harun Masiku again entrusted his suitcase to him. Precisely when Kusnadi was at the house of aspirations around the end of December 2019.

"What was conveyed?" asked the prosecutor.

"What was said was that he wanted to meet Pak Saeful," he said.

"What needs do you want to meet Saeful?" said the prosecutor.

"I want to entrust the goods he said," said Kusnadi.

"What items were deposited?" said the prosecutor.

"As far as I remember the suitcase," said Kusnadi.

As he recalls, Harun Masiku ordered the suitcase that was deposited to be handed over to Saeful Bahri. Because, you can't wait long.

"He (Harun Masiku) just talked to me, 'this pack was entrusted to me to make Saeful I have communicated, but he also doesn't seem to be able to come here, I'm also hunting, sir, I've already communicated, I'm with the Saeful, later I want to be taken by the staff," explained Kusnadi.

Until finally, the suitcase was taken by staff from Saeful Bahri named Gery. Kusnadi did not deny that from the assistance provided, he again received a wage of around Rp. 300 thousand.

"Who? Say no name? Who is the staff who wants to take it?" asked the prosecutor.

"If I'm not mistaken, Gery," said Kusnadi.

In the alleged bribery case, Hasto was jointly charged with advocate Donny Tri Istiqomah; the former convict of the Harun Masiku case, Saeful Bahri; and Harun Masiku gave money amounting to 57,350 Singapore dollars or equivalent to Rp600 million to Wahyu in the 2019-2020 period.

The money is allegedly given with the aim that Wahyu strives for the KPU to approve the request for an interim replacement (PAW) for the Elected Legislative Candidate for the Electoral Region (Dapil) of South Sumatra (Sumsel) I on behalf of the Members of the DPR for the 2019-2024 period Riezky Aprilia to Harun Masiku.

In addition, Hasto was also charged with obstructing the investigation by ordering Harun, through the Aspiration House guard, Nur Hasan, to submerge Harun's cell phone into the water after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested members of the General Election Commission (KPU) for the 2017-2022 period Wahyu Setiawan.

Not only Harun Masiku's cellphone, Hasto is also said to have ordered his aide, Kusnadi, to drown his cell phone in anticipation of forced attempts by KPK investigators.

Thus, Hasto is threatened with a crime as regulated in Article 21 and Article 5 Paragraph (1) letter a or Article 13 of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 65 Paragraph (1) and Article 55 Paragraph (1) 1 jo. Article 64 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
