JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has begun investigating the involvement of Ahmad Dedi or Dedi Congor, a former official of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) in the case of bribery of imported goods involving the forwarder PT Blueray Cargo. This process was carried out after investigators examined a number of witnesses and the emergence of trial facts.
"From the facts that emerged in the trial and the testimony of the witnesses, there is an alleged flow, so the investigators will certainly investigate," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when confirmed by VOI, Friday, June 12.
A number of witnesses who have been examined to investigate Ahmad Dedi's involvement, including Iskandar HP Sitorus as the founder and secretary of Indonesia Audit Watch (IAW).
This figure has been questioned as a witness on Friday, June 12. According to Budi, Iskandar has provided the necessary information before the investigators.
"Witness IHS acts as a consultant from PT BR. In several materials of this examination, Witness IHS also provided information needed by investigators," explained Budi.
"The testimony of each witness, including IHS, of course, helps the investigation process to continue to trace other parties who are also suspected of being related," he continued.
Meanwhile, at the trial, John Field as the boss of PT Blueray Cargo admitted giving Rp91 billion to a number of officials at DJBC. Of this amount, Rp30 billion was given to Ahmad Dedi or Dedi Congor as the former Head of the Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office (KPPBC) Marunda.
This was revealed by John Field during the examination of the defendant at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court (PN), Friday, June 12. John Field said Dedi worked at the National Intelligence Agency (BIN).
"This is in the indictment only 61 (billion). I am also worried that if this is opened, if we do not open it, then he will be re-charged as a (suspect) giver (of bribes). I want to clear this sir. This is 91 (billion) has been revealed in the investigation, in the indictment 61 (billion). Can you explain 91 (billion) minus 61 (billion) means there are 30 billion more sir," asked lawyer John Field in the trial.
"Can you explain about the 30 billion, who is the recipient, how much it is every month, and how is it? You just explain from the beginning," he continued.
"The 30 (billion) I help 5 billion every month. (Money) 5 billion to Mr. Dedi, I know he is in one, I don't know if he is in Customs, I know he is BIN," replied John Field.
John Field said he had met Dedi's staff named Alex after being introduced by someone named Tuti or Sri Pangestuti as the Customs Service Management Entrepreneur (PPJK).
"Is this Ahmad Dedi?" asked the lawyer to confirm.
"Yes, Ahmad Dedi, because his status at BIN as treasurer in PPIR (Purnawirawan Pejuang Indonesia Raya) yes, for PPIR assistance because he is the treasurer," explained John Field.
"But the handover to him, yes? Who received him, yes?" the lawyer replied.
"To his staff," John Field replied.
"Alex," he continued.
In response to this testimony, Hamonangan Daulay as Ahmad Dedi's lawyer has claimed that John Field's statement is not true. "It must be proven based on legal evidence," he said in a written statement.
"The legal team rejects all forms of premature judgment and the formation of public opinion that seems to consider the allegations to have been proven. In a legal state, everyone has the right to protection on the basis of the presumption of innocence until there is a court decision with binding force. "
