JAKARTA - Former Head of the Criminal and Human Rights Implementation Sub-Division of the Legal Aid Bureau of the Legal Division of the National Police's Legal Division in 2013-2018 Bambang Kayun Bagus Panji Sugiharto was charged with accepting bribes worth Rp57.1 billion to carry out case management at the National Police Headquarters.
"The defendant Bambang Kayun Bagus Panji Sugiharto received money gradually from Emlylia Said and Herwansyah in the form of transfers and cash plus 1 unit of Toyota Fortuner car worth a total of IDR 57,126,300,000," said KPK public prosecutor (JPU) Hendra Eka at the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor) reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 25.
The purpose of giving this is to help Emylia Said and Herwansyah, both of whom are currently on the Bareskrim Polri People's Wanted List (DPO) in handling general criminal cases at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters, namely to ensure the investigation process and the management of legal protection letters.
In mid-2016, Bambang's neighbor, Boy Prayana Sidhi, said that his friend, Farhan, had an older brother named Emylia Said and Hermwansyah who were reported to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police by Dewi Ariati with the alleged criminal act of forgery of letters and wanted to consult Bambang in Jakarta, so Bambang agreed.
Furthermore, Boy, Farhan, Bambang met in Sunter, North Jakarta and asked Bambang to help with the problem because Bambang was assigned to the Legal Division of the National Police Headquarters.
Bambang then met Boy, Farhan, Herwansyah and Emylia Said in June 2016. During the meeting, Bambang said he could lobby the Bareskrim Polri investigators who handled the case. Bambang then directed Emylia and Herwansyah to submit a legal protection letter to the Legal Division of the National Police Headquarters and the letter would be made by Bambang.
"The defendant also asked for a sum of money, namely Rp. 400 million for the processing of 2 letters," added the prosecutor.
Herwansyah then took Rp400 million and given it to Farhan and then handed it over to Bambang at the office of the Legal Division of the National Police Headquarters, calculated and stored under his desk.
A few days later Bambang showed a Legal Lidnungan Letter on behalf of Emylia Said and Herwansyah.
Emylia then received a summons for examination from Bareskrim Polri but she was not willing and asked for an examination at PT Aria Citra Mulia's office in Harmoni. At that request, Bambang said he would help if the Rp700 million was prepared and agreed.
Farhan then handed over the Rp700 million to Bambang in his office. Bambang said the money would be distributed to all investigators who handled the Emylia Said and Herwansyah cases, then Bambang called several investigators and distributed money in plastic bags.
Bareskrim Polri investigators then conducted an examination of Emylia Said and Herwansyah at the PT Aria Citra Mulia office. Bambang asked the two of them to prepare 4 boxes of cakes containing Rp40 million each so that the total was Rp160 million to be submitted to the investigators who carried out the examination.
However, investigators in the case continued to conclude that Emylia Said and Herwansyah remained suspects, so Bambang followed up on a letter of application for legal protection on behalf of Emylia Said and Herwansyah to Bambang's superiors by declaring the investigator's actions were unprofessional.
In November 2016, Emylia and Hermansyah were officially named suspects, but Bambang again directed the two to re-submit a Legal Protection Letter to the Legal Division of the National Police Headquarters and asked Emylia and Herwansyah to prepare Rp400 million for the processing of the letter.
Herwansyah then handed over Rp400 million to Farhan and then Farhan handed it over to Bambang and kept it under his desk.
Bambang then also directed Emylia and Herwansyah to file a pretrial against the determination of the status of the suspect. Bambang also asked Masnen Gustian to become legal advisers for Emylia and Herwansyah to file a pretrial at the Central Jakarta District Court.
On November 13, 2016, Bambang directed Masnen to arrange a pretrial and then examined Bambang. After a pretrial hearing was conducted, it was decided to grant the request of Emylia Said and Herwansyah so that the determination of the suspect was invalid.
Receiving the pretrial decision, Bambang asked Emylia Said and Herwansyah to buy a Toyota Fortuner and Herwansyah car for Rp476.3 million from the Cunter Sales Auto2000 Juanda. The car was handed over to Bambang in the Sunter parking lot, North Jakarta.

However, on April 21, 2021, Emylia and Herwansyah were again named suspects. Both then asked Bambang for help, Bambang then directed him to carry out a previous strategy, namely a pretrial and Bambang recommended Neshawaty Arsjad as a legal advisor.
After the pretrial trial, the court decided to reject the request because it did not meet the formal requirements so that Emylia and Herwansyah remained suspects.
In addition to receiving money worth a total of Rp1.66 billion and 1 unit of Toyota Fortuner worth Rp476.3 million, Bambang also received money from PT Aria Citra Mulia, PT Eminence Martime Indonesia and PT Maju Maritim Indonesia which are companies affiliated with Emylia Said and Herwansyah through transfers on behalf of Yayanti who are close friends of Bambang as many as 28 transactions in the 2016-2021 period worth a total of Rp55.15 billion.
For his actions, Bambang Kayun was charged with Article 12 letter a or Article 11 of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
Bambang did not file a memorandum of objection (exception) so the trial will continue on June 8, 2023 with the agenda of examining witnesses.
