Defendant Galumbang Menak Claims Not Receiving BTS 4G Kominfo Project Money

JAKARTA - Former President Director of PT Mora Telematika Indonesia (Moratelindo) Galumbang Menak Simanjuntakheran with the public prosecutor (JPU) who suspects the article on the crime of money laundering (TPPU) against him. In fact, he claims that he did not receive or receive money from the BTS project corruption at BAKTI Kominfo.

He made this statement when he read out the defense note or plea in a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, November 6.

"The facts of the trial were also conveyed that until today I have not accepted what was alleged. This was also agreed by the prosecutor in his claim that I did not enjoy the results of corruption in the 4G BTS project," said Galumbang.

In addition, Galumbang also denied the testimony of Lintasarta, namely Arya Damar and Alfi Asman regarding the acceptance of a fee of 10 percent.

"Even witness Bramudija Hadinoto as Director of Corporate Service of Lintasarta did not know about the commitment fee, so it contradicted the statement of Witness Alfi Asman who stated that the commitment fee had been discussed at the Board of Directors meeting," said Galumbang.

Galumbang also responded to the money that was handed over to the defendant Irwan Hermawan through several companies by creating fictitious PO 4 times. It said the money was not for himself but for the benefit of BAKTI.

"I strongly suspect the money they handed over was to cover up their mistakes," he said.

Galumbang revealed some of the errors were fines for reduced delays suddenly, changes in terms of financing and disbursement of implementation guarantees were not executed.

"The disbursement of implementation guarantees that were not executed was very odd and did not comply with the correct governance," he said.

In addition, Galumbang also said, from the facts of the trial, it was revealed that the amount of money submitted 4 times did not match the 10 percent commitment fee alleged.

In the facts of the trial presented by Alfi Asman, Arya Damar, other witnesses and defendant Irwan Hermawan and defendant Windy Purnama, PT Aplikanusa Lintaarta only issued around 60 billion.

"Meanwhile, referring to the commitment fee of 10 percent, it should be IDR 240 billion. So it can be seen clearly that the charge of commitment fee 10% is just a billboard that may aim to cover up what they did, which in the end burdens me in this case," said Galumbang.

Galumbang Menak was charged with 15 years in prison. Not only criminal, but the prosecutor also demanded that the defendant Galumbang pay a fine of Rp. 1 billion.

If you do not have the ability to fine, you can be replaced with one year in prison.

The claim is because Galumbang is considered to have violated Article 2 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 1 of the Criminal Code and Article 3 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
