BOGOR - The attorney for the inactive regent of Bogor Ade Yasin, Dinalara Butarbutar, believes the panel of judges led by Hera Kartiningsih will be objective in responding to the demands of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) prosecutors. "We, the legal team, believe that the panel of judges is objective in this case, because all the demands submitted by the prosecutor have been denied by the witnesses presented by the KPK itself," said Dinalara after the trial at the Bandung Corruption Court, West Java, Antara, Monday, September 12. The demands filed by the prosecutor were not proven to have involved his client because none of the witnesses confirmed that the giving of money by other defendants who were employees of the Bogor Regency Government to the BPK auditor on orders from Ade Yasin. "It turns out that what was revealed was the interests of the giver who was afraid that there were findings. Should the giver's actions be held accountable?" said Dinanalara. The lecturer at the Faculty of Law at Pakuan University said that the demands of the KPK prosecutor regarding the detention of the Regional Government Financial Report (LKPD) in order to get an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) had also been denied by witnesses. "So it is necessary to explore what the motive for giving the money was. If the motive is WTP, all witnesses say they don't understand the WTP at all," he said. According to him, the regent's form of responsibility for the mistakes of his subordinates has been completed with the transfer of authority as regulated in Regulation (PP) number 12 of 2019 concerning the delegation of regional financial management authority. Dinalara also emphasized that from the statements of 41 witnesses presented by the KPK, it was concluded that the money given that occurred in the case was not an act of bribery, because there was no agreement at the beginning between the two parties. "If we go into legal theory, the bribe will occur if from the start there has been an agreement between the giver and the recipient. The question is who agrees with the BPK? Even with (the defendant) Ihsan, he did not agree. Even with the service provider, he did not agree. Because the fact is that they (employees of the Regency Government and service providers) were spontaneously asked when he (BPK) conducted an examination," said Dinalara. The KPK prosecutor at the time of the trial demanded the panel of judges to impose a sentence of three years in prison with a fine of Rp. 100 million and a subsidiary of six months in prison to Ade Yasin. "(Demanding) a 3 year sentence for Ade Yasin, then a fine of Rp. 100 million and a subsidiary of 6 months," said KPK Prosecutor Rony Yusuf. He explained that the defendant Ade Yasin was legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption as stated in Article 5 paragraph 1 letter a of the corruption law, in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code, in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
