DOCK BETWEEN

JAKARTA - Broker of PT Pertani (Persero) and PT Mandala Hamonangan Sude, Harry Van Sidabuke admitted to giving two Brompton bikes to Agustri Yogasmara (Yogas) as the operator of Commission II members of the PDI-Perjuangan Faction, Ihsan Yunus. The gift is intended so that in the future get other jobs.

Harry Van Sidabuke who is a briber Juliari Peter Batubara was presented as a witness for the accused of corruption of social rocks (bansos) namely, Adi Wahyono and Matheus Joko Santoso as former officials of the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos).

This confession began when prosecutors questioned about the items that had been given to Yoga.

"In addition to giving money, there is another gift to Yogas?" asked the prosecutor during a hearing at the Tipikor Court in Jakarta, Tuesday, May 25.

"There, two Brompton bikes," replied Harry.

Hearing the confession, the prosecutor asked Harry to explain the reason for giving the luxury bike. Thus, Harry answered the gift to be given another job by Yogas.

"Asked, because I happen to like to play bicycles, then he (Yogas) story 'Yes I also kepengen join the bike, but do not have a bike'. Then I offered, 'Yes mas want what bike', 'Brompton bike'. 'I'll buy it later.' 'But beliin two ya mas'. Finally I bought two," said Harry mimicking a conversation with Yogas.

As if dissatisfied with the answer, the prosecutor again asked the same question. Harry replied because he is a businessman, so the gift is natural.

"Precisely because I am a businessman sir, that's why I love Brompton, because I think in the future can get more projects from Mas Yogas," he said.

Two former officials of the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos), Matheus Joko Santoso and Adi Wahyono were charged with participating together with the former Mensos, Juliari Peter Batubara received a bribe of Rp32 billion. Both are suspected of being intermediaries for bribes related to the procurement of Bansos COVID-19.
