BANDARLAMPUNG - Andi Desfiandi who became a defendant in the alleged bribery case against the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani for the acceptance of a new student from Lampung University in 2022 underwent his first trial at the Tanjungkarang Corruption Crime District Court, Bandarlampung today.
The agenda for the inaugural trial of the alleged bribery case of the Unila Chancellor is the reading of the indictment by the Public Prosecutor of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Agung Satrio Wibowo.
"Today we are reading the indictment against Andi Desfiandi regarding the giving of bribes to Karomani as Chancellor of Unila," he said, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, November 9.
In his indictment, the Public Prosecutor stated the points of the indictment to the defendant, namely the giving of bribes to the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani to help two prospective students enter the Faculty of Medicine Unila in 2022.
"The defendant gave Rp250 million rupiah to state officials, in this case the Unila Chancellor, in order to smooth out two people to become students of the Faculty of Medicine in Unila," said Agung.
Karomani's actions as Chancellor of Unila, who has included two new students at the Faculty of Medicine through independent channels by asking the defendant for a sum of money, contradicts the position of rector as a state administrator who is free of corruption, collusion and nepotism.
For his actions, the defendant was charged with three articles, namely Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 31 of 1990 as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
Then Article 5 Paragraph (1) letter b of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) of the 1st KÜ HP
Furthermore, Article 13 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
Meanwhile, the defendant's legal advisory team Andi Desfiandi did not give an exception to the reading of the indictment by the KPK prosecutor.
"We did not make exceptions because we had seen, read and heard directly from the prosecutor. Juridically normatively, there is nothing to debate, it is appropriate," said Resmen Gaddafi, one of the defendant's legal lighters.
"Therefore, we ask to go directly to the main case," he added.
Meanwhile, after the trial reading the indictment, the defendant Andi Desfiandi when asked for information was reluctant to comment much.
"Just ask for prayers, this is a test," he said as he walked away from the courtroom
