According to him, the thanksgiving money for the regent was given through Slamet Masduki, Head of the Social Service, Family Planning, and Women's Empowerment of Pemalang Regency, who had been sentenced to this corruption crime. "Echelon three and four officials who received promotions and mutations were once summoned by Pak Slamet Masduki, asked to immediately give a thanksgiving money," he said in a trial chaired by Chief Judge Bambang Setyo Widjanarko. He said the amount of the Rp50 million thanksgiving was determined by Slamet Wahyudi. In fact, Nur admitted that he had to sell his car to fulfill the obligation of the deposit money.

Agus served as head of the field before finally being promoted as Secretary of the Service. For the promotion of the position, the witness was also asked to hand over a thanksgiving amount of IDR 50 million. "When called by Pak Slamet Masduki, he was asked to immediately give a thanksgiving money because it had been billed," he said. However, the witness admitted that he did not know who the person in question was collecting it.
