JAKARTA - Lawyer for Commissioner of PT Solitechmedia Synergy Irwan Hermawan, Maqdir Ismail said he would bring Rp27 billion which was returned by the private sector in the alleged corruption case of BTS Kominfo to the Attorney General's Office (AGO).
Maqdir said that he would bring the money in cash when he fulfilled the AGO's summons on Thursday (13/7).
"Yes, we'll see on Thursday. Don't assume today. I will try to come in the morning (to the AGO)," said Maqdir as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 10.
Maqdir said the AGO did not want to accept the money in the form of a transfer, so he would take it in cash.
"They (AGO) don't want to accept that I want to transfer. God willing (cash)," he said.
He also said that the money was stored in a safe place and ensured that not a penny was reduced. However, Maqdir was reluctant to elaborate on the form of the currency denomination
"Just on Thursday, we will meet at the Attorney General's Office. We show the money is true or not," he said.
Maqdir was originally summoned by the AGO today. However, Maqdir asked for a postponement until Thursday (13/7) because he had to accompany his other client's trial.
"Today I sent a letter (to the AGO) asking for a postponement because there was a pretrial decision trial. I plan to come Thursday," said Maqdir, contacted separately.
