The Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office, Ketut Sumedana, confirmed that the indictment for the alleged corruption case of BTS 4G Kominfo was read by the public prosecutor in court according to the facts explored by investigators, not based on rumors.
"Our benchmark for examining it is based on the indictment that has been read out in court," Sumedana said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 10.
This was conveyed by Sumedana in response to information on the loss of a number of names of officials and politicians in the BTS 4G Kominfo corruption case document.
According to Sumedana, no names were lost or removed, such as information circulating in the community.
"If all the rumors are circulating outside, we can't respond to rumors. What we respond to is the facts that have been explored by fellow investigators into indictments that have been read out in court," he said.
The AGO emphasized that every name informed by the public regarding the case that caused losses to state finances amounting to Rp8.32 trillion, was followed up and an examination was carried out.
Evidently, he continued, today the Junior Attorney General's Investigator for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office summoned 12 witnesses for questioning, one of whom was Maqdir Ismail, a lawyer from Irwan Hermawan, a 4G Kominfo BTS corruption defendant.
"We examined all information from the public about the names circulating in the community. Today we examined 12 people. All related to money laundering (TPPU) and corruption crimes," said Sumedana.
He emphasized that all information circulating related to the case was clarified with the intention of preventing a negative polemic for the Prosecutor's Office. Such as information on the settlement of cases, security, investigations.
"We believe that this case has been tried by six people. Two people are still in the process of being investigated. If it develops further, hopefully, it will not develop. If something develops, we will follow up again," said Sumedana.
