The panel of judges is of the opinion that the legal process against other defendants in the sugar corruption case confirmed with the presence of the prosecutor in the courtroom. The latest, Hotman brought the name Tom Lembong back into the Tony trial held at Central Jakarta Corruption Court, Friday (12/9). Hotman said the accusation of the verdict against Tom Salah. The moment took place when the prosecutor submitted former deputy for the Argy and Pharmacy Industry Division of the Ministry of Soes, Wahyu Kuncoro, as a witness. Hotman, who had the opportunity to ask the witness, began his question by mentioning the conviction handed by the judge against Tom Salah. He said PT Indonesian trading business (PT PPI) bought sugar, not from sugarcane farmers, but private businesses. “Ltkp calculates state losses based on the price of this HPP, the benchmark price of farmers. While PPI, PPI SOEs do not buy from farmers. So, if it is justified alone, it is only a regulation that there is no state loss.” And what was bought by PPI was not some of these farmers, but of 8 private importers, while the price of farmers’ benchmark sold. So any accusation, including the decision of the meeting to Tom Lembong, was clearly wrong, ‘he added. Chief Justice Dennie Arsan Fatrika then interrupted Hotman’s words. The judge asked Hotman to focus on the question of Wahyu. ‘ Please for the issue of legal lawyer. For your conclusions, you should be asked later to the place member or defense memorandum, “the judge said. The judge requested that Hotman’s opinion or conclusion related to this case was transferred in a defense or plea note.

Hotman questioned the basis to determine Nadiem as a suspect. He said there was no evidence that Nadiem could harm an illegal act in the terms of himself or others or corporations. The element of enriching self is not proven, corruption must enrich themselves or enrich others. To enrich themselves, there is no evidence, ‘says Hotman. Hotman said Ltkp also audited twice the acquisition of the Nadiem -era laptop in 22 provinces. From the audit results, Hotman said, LPKP said there were no findings of offenses. He also mentioned the procedure for obtaining Chrome laptops through the Government Goods/Acquisition Policy. In e-Catalogs. Only every type of laptop is different, but everyone has decreased. This is the audit result of LPKP, “he continued. Tom Lembong’s strong camp was held by Tom Lembong’s lawyer, Ari Yusuf Amir, Hotman replied. He said that the case that the case of Tom Lembong and Nadiem cannot be compared. Ari said whether there was an evil intention or rea nadiem in the case or not should be proved in the hearing.
