Attorney Pinangki: Anita Kolopaking Trapped And Spread My Disgrace

Pinangki Sirna Malasari (DOK. ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari said Anita Kolopaking tried to frame him regarding the payment of lawyer fees from Joko Tjandra. Pinangki based his allegations because Anita Kolopaking continued to contact him to pay the lawyer fee.

The initial accusation about Anita trying to trap Pinangki occurred when the Public Prosecutor (JPU) discussed the communication between the two through the WhatsApp short message application.

During the conversation, Anita kept contacting Pinangki to ask for a lawyer fee. Because Anita believed that Joko Tjandra had paid her wages and entrusted her to Pinangki.

This was discovered when Anita contacted Joko Tjandra. From the results of the communication, Joko Tjandra said that if he had handed over 500 thousand US dollars (US) to Pinangki.

But when Anita won over to Pinangki, Joko Tjandra gave the answer if he never had money of that size. Because, Pinangki said that if he only received 150 thousand.

In fact, Anita continued to charge a laywer fee of US $ 50 thousand from November 2019 to March 2020. In this communication the two of them disagreed.

"Yes, suddenly (March 31) he texted me like that and my feeling is that people are trying to frame me with words like that," said Pinangki during a trial at the Corruption Court, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, December 16.

Pinangki said the trap was meant because Anita kept bringing up money given by Joko Tjandra, which actually never existed. So that Pinangki got angry and didn't give the money.

Moreover, in the communication, Anita also threatened to expose her shame. Then, Anita also had time to say words that were deemed inappropriate.

"Not yet (given), at first I wanted to give it but suddenly there was a strange sentence that was inappropriate," he said.

"Because he (Anita) tends to open disgrace, he wants to trap me," he said.

In this case, prosecutor Pinangki was charged with three counts, namely the first charge of receiving a bribe of US $ 500,000 (around Rp7.4 billion) from the convicted Bank Bali cessie case Djoko Soegiarto Tjandra.

Second, the money laundering charges originating from the receipt of bribes amounting to 444,900 dollars or around Rp6,219,380,900.00 as money given by Djoko Tjandra for the processing of a fatwa to the Supreme Court.

Third, Pinangki was charged with committing an evil conspiracy with Andi Irfan Jaya and Djoko Tjandra to bribe officials at the AGO and MA worth US $ 10 million.
