PERKELAHIAN DI GARIS FINISH (7 Maret 2010) WAKIL PRESIDEN BOEDIONO DAN MENTERI KEUANGAN SRI MULYANI INDRAWATI KEMUNGKINAN BESAR LOLOS DARI JERAT PANITIA ANGKET BANK CENTURY. LOBI INTENSIF HINGGA DETIK TERAKHIR,

FIGHT TO THE FINISH (March 7th, 2010) VICE PRESIDENT BOEDIONO AND FINANCE MINISTER SRI MULYANI INDRAWATI ARE LIKELY TO FAREWELL IN THE FINAL DECISION OF THE BANK CENTURY INQUIRY SPECIAL COMMITTEE. INTENSIVE LOBBYING IS BEING DONE UP TO THE FINAL MOMENTS.

TIDAK mudah menyamakan isi kepala sembilan orang. Apalagi jika mereka mewakili sembilan kepentingan politik yang berbeda. Kamis pekan lalu, rapat tim kecil panitia khusus penyelidikan bailout Bank Century, di Hotel Santika, Slipi, Jakarta Barat, tak bisa menemukan kata sepakat Padahal, dua jam lebih mereka berembuk, merumuskan laporan final Panitia Angket yang akan dibacakan dalam Rapat Paripurna Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, Selasa pekan ini.

It is not easy to get nine people to think along the same lines, especially if they represent nine different political interests. On Thursday last week, at a meeting of a team of representatives of the special committee to investigate the Bank Century bailout case, at Santika Hotel, in West Jakarta, no agreement was reached. They met for more than two hours, formulating the final report of the DPR's Bank Century Special Inquiry Committee, which was to be read at the DPR Plenary Session on Tuesday this week. "We kept going over it, but we still failed to reach an agreement, “said Muhammad

Agenda rapat malam itu memang bukan soal sederhana. Mereka harus menyatukan sedikitnva empat kubu pendapat menjadi satu laporan tunggal untuk disikapi 560.anggota parlemen dalam rapat paripurna pada Rabu, 3 Maret. Semula mereka berusaha berkompromi agar Panitia Angket bulat bersikap. Tapi gradasinya terlalu lebar, tidak mungkin disamakan." kata Romahurmuziy lagi.

The meeting's agenda that night was no simple matter. They had to bring together at least four viewpoints into one single report to be read out to 560 members of the legislalure at a plenary session scheduled for March 3. They initially tried to compromise so that the Special Committee could come up with an unanimous stance. "However, the differences were too great. We could not unify them," stressed Romahurmuziy.

Wakil Sekjen Partai Ka'bah ini benar belaka. Persepsi sebagian fraksi atas proses penyelamatan Bank Century memang berbeda bak langit dan bumi. Meski sudah hampir empat bulan bersama-sama menguliti dokumen dan kesaksian dari berbagai pihak yang diduga terlibat, kesepahaman tampaknya mustahil dicapai.

This PPP Deputy Secretary-General was entirely correct. The differences of opinion among some of the factions regarding the Bank Century bailout process were like night and day. Even though they spent almost four months together going through documents and the testimonies of various parties suspected of involvement, it was impossible to reach some kind of an agreement.

Perbedaan itu tercermin jelas dari sesi pemandangan akhir fraksi-fraksi, yang digelar di Senayan, Selasa pekan lalu. Fraksi Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan, Partai Golkar, Partai Keadilan Sejahtera, dan Hanura tegas-tegas menilai telah terjadi kesalahan pengambilan kebijakan. Keempat fraksi menuding Wakil Presiders Boediono yang saat itu menjabat Guburnur Bank Indonesia dan Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani selaku Ketua Komite Stabilitas Sistem Keuangan harus bertanggungjawab.

These differences were clearly reflected during the session of the factions, at which they submitted their final viewpoints, which was held on Tuesday last week. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) faction, Golkar Party, the Justice Prosperity Party (PKS), and Hanura emphatically concluded that an error in policy was made. Four factions charged that Vice President Boediono–who at that time was Governor of Bank Indonesia –and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, acting as head of the

Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK), should take responsibility for the error. Pandangan lima fraksi lain lebih moderat, meski juga tak sepenuhnya seragam. Partai Persatuan Pembangunan dan Partai Grerindra menilai kebijakan penyelamatan krisis perbankan sudah tepat, namun formulasi kebijakan dan implementasinya bermasalah. Partai Amanat Nasional hanya menyoroti penerapan kebijakan penyelamatan yang bolong di sana-sini. Sedangkan Partai Demokrat dan Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa bersikap lebih tegas: tak ada yang salah dalam bailout Century.

The views given by the other five factions were more moderate, even though they were not in complete agreement. The PPP and Gerindra party felt that the policy to aid a bank in crisis was appropriate, but that there were mistakes in the way the policy was formulated and implemented. The National Mandate Party (PAN) pointed to the various shortcomings in the application of the policy. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party and the National Awakening Party (PKB) emphatically stated there was nothing wrong with the Bank Century bailout.

Perbedaan ini mengundang spekulasi bahwa koalisi pendukung Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono sudah tak bisa lagi dipertahankan. Sikap keras Golkar dan PKS untuk terus-menerus mengirim sinyal berbeda ke publik jelas membuat kubu Istana tak nyaman Perkembangan terakhir di Senayan menandakan ada kesenjangan antara apa yang disepakati di tingkat elite partai dan manuver para politikus di Gedung DPR. Ketua umum partai bisa saja berangkulan dengan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, tapi itu bukan jaminan politikus mereka disiplin dengan komitmen pimpinan.

These differences invited speculation whether the coalition of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono could be maintained. The strong stance taken by Golkar and PKS to oppose the policy has clearly unnerved the Palace.

terus menerus → mengirim sinyal berbeda

The latest developments at the legislature have also indicated that there is a gap between what has been agreed to at the elite party level with the maneuvers of politicians at the DPR. Party chairmen can very well ally themselves with the President, but this is no guarantee that their cadres will adhere to the commitments made by their leaders.

Sampai akhir pekan lalu, dukungan Yudhoyono untuk Boediono dan Sri Mulyani memang tak surut. Menjelang detik-detik kritis pengambilan keputusan di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat pekan ini, Presiden seakan ingin menegaskan bahwa dia tak mungkin mengorbankan dua orang kepercayaannya itu.

PRESIDENT Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono opened the cabinet meeting on the Thursday afternoon last week with a short prayer for Boediono. On that February 25, it happened to be the 67th birthday of the Vice President, who was born in Blitar, East Java. "May Pak Boed have a long life, always be protected by God, be given wisdom and guidance to live a blessed life," said Yudhoyono in his prayer. All of the ministers present bowed their heads. At the end of last week, Yudhoyono's support for Boediono and Sri Mulyani had not abated. Nearing the critical moment of decisionmaking at the DPR this week, the President seemed to emphasize that there is no way he will sacrifice those two trusted persons.

Pekan lalu, sempat beredar kabar bahwa Boediono dan Sri Mulvani akan mundur bersama jika- salah satu atau keduanya–dinyatakan bersalah oleh legislatif. Namun isu ini cepat-cepat ditepis lingkaran dalam Istana. "Tak pernah ada rencana seperti itu," kata Yopie Hidayat, staf khusus sekaligus juru bicara Wakil Presiden.

Last week, rumors said Boediono and Sri Mulyani would both resign if one or both of them were found guilty by the legislature. However, this rumor was quickly played down by circles in the Palace. "There was never such a plan." said Yopie Hidayat, a special staff and spokesman for the Vice President.

source at the State Palace, commenting on the coordinative meeting between the three, on Wednesday last week.

Kepercayaan diri kubu lstana tak lepas dari terungkapnya sejumlah kasus yang melibatkan motor Panitia Angket, sepanjang pekan lalu. Misalnya kasus letter of credit dari Bank Century untuk PT Selalang Prima International milik politikus Partai Keadilan Sejahtera, Misbakhun, senilai US$ 22,5 juta. Misbakhun adalah anggota Tim Sembilan, yang pertama kali menggulirkan kasus Century di parlemen.

The confidence of the Palace camp was partly buoyed by revelations last week of cases involving some legislators who pushed for the formation of the inquiry committee. For instance, there was the letter of credit from Bank Century in favor of PT Selalang Prima International, a company connected to PKS politician Misbakhun, in the amount of US$22.5 million. Misbakhun is a member of the Team of Nine, who first raised the Bank Century case in the DPR. Further more, the reemergence of the sale of imported rice by PT Hexatama Finindo, a company connected to Golkar Party politician Setya Novanto, in the amount of US$12 million, two weeks ago, also came as good news for the Palace. Novanto is currently Golkar faction chief in the DPR, who has been directing the moves of his members in the Special Committee. The Novanto case adds to the pressure being put on Golkar, already plagued by charges of tax evasion by the Bakrie Group of companies.

Selain itu, muncul kembalinya kasus penjualan beras impor oleh PT Hexatama, Finindo milik politikus Partai Golkar, Setya Novanto senilai US$ 12 juta, dua pekan lalu, membuat girang Istana. Novanto sekarang adalah Ketua Fraksi Golkar di parlemen, yang aktit mengawal gerak-gerik anggotanya di Panitia Angket Century. Kasus Novanto menambah tekanan kepada Beringin, yang sebelumnya sudah terpojok oleh tudingan pengemplangan pajak Grup Bakrie.

Kubu Yudhoyono yakin betul pada putaran terakhir pekan ini, semua partai akan kembali “menggunakan akal sehat" dan merapatkan diri ke lstana. "Kami tidak yakin soal PKS, tapi Golkar sangat mungkin berkompromi,” kata satu sumber Tempo. Alasannya simpel: Ketua Umum Golkar Aburizal Bakrie diyakini tidak akan mengorbankan bisnisnya untuk kepentingan politik.

The Yudhoyono camp truly believes that by the final round this week, all of the parties will again "use common sense" and fall in line with the Palace. "We are not sure about the PKS, but it is very possible that Golkar will compromise," said a Tempo source. The reason is simple: reportedly, Golkar Party Chairman Aburizal Bakrie will not sacrifice his business for political interests.

Pendeknya, Yudhoyono dan Partai Demokrat merasa di atas angin. Masih kerasnya sikap Golkar dan PKS serta abu – abunya posisi PAN dan PPP – dinilai bukan soal besar. “Sama seperti mobil yang semula melaju kencang, kan tidak mungkin tiba-tiba berputar arah? Pasti mengerem dulu pelan-pelan," kata Achsanul Qosasi, politikus Partai Demokrat di Panitia Angket. Menurut Achsanul, sampai akhir pekan lalu, ketaksepakatan partai koalisi - Demokrat, Golkar, PKS, PAN, PPP, dan PKB - sebenarnya sudah mengerucut pada enam poin temuan Panitia Angket. Tiga temuan pertama berkaitan dengan kebijakan Bank Indonesia mengucurkan fasilitas pendanaan jangka pendek (FPJP) Rp 689 miliar untuk Bank Century, pada awal November 2008. Sisanya soal kebijakan Komite Stabilitas Sistem Keuangan menyetujui penyertaan modal sementara ke Bank Century.

In short, Yudhoyono and the Demecrat Party feel that things will eventually go their way. The sharp stance by Golkar and PKS–and the vague position of PAN and PPP - are not seen to be a serious problem "It's like a car which is going fast. It cannot just suddenly turn around, right? It would have to slow down first," said Achsanul Qosasi, a Democrat Party member in the Special Committee. According to Achsanul, as of last week, the absence of an agreement among the coalition parties Democrat, Golkar, PKS, PAN, PPP, and PKB actually revolve around six findings of the Special Committee. The first three findings covered the policy of Bank Indonesia to extend Rp 689 billion in short-term funding (FPJP) to Bank Century in early November 2008. The other findings covered the policy of the KSSK in approving temporary capital investment in Bank Century.

Keenam wilayah temuan itu: pertama, soal satu pasal dalam surat perjanjian (akta) pemberian FPJP yang mengacu pada peraturan Bank Indonesia yang lamaNomor 10/26/2008 yang mensyaratkan rasio kecukupan modal di atas 8 persen. Padahal saat itu rasio kecukupan modal Bank Century sudah melorot tinggal sekitar 2 persen. "Menurut kami, itu salah ketik saja. Jelas-jelas saat itu sudah ada peraturan Bank Indonesia yang baru, Nomor 10/30/2008, yang hanya mensyaratkan rasio modal positif,” kata Achsanul.

Here are the six findings: first, the matter of an article in the agreement (act) to issue the FPJP, which refers to an old regulation of Bank Indonesia (No. 10/26/2008), stipulating that the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) must be above 8 percent. In fact, at that time, Bank Century's CAR had fallen to about 2 percent. "According to us, that was just a typo. Clearly at that time there was a new regulation of Bank Indonesia. No. 10/30/2008, which only required a positive CAR," said Achsanul.

Kedua, soal kurangnya jaminan FPJP yang disetorkan Bank Century. "Seharusnya ada 150 persen dari nilai bantuan, tapi audit Badan Pemeriksa Ke-

Second, there is the lack of guarantees for the FPJP deposited in Bank Century. "It should have 150 percent of the value of the assistance, but an audit by

uangan menemukan nilai jaminan Bank Century yang disetor hanya 83 persen." katanya. Ketiga, soal tidak adanya surat permohonan FPJP dari Bank Century. Saat itu, Bank Century memang hanya mengajukan surat permohonan repo (repurchase agreement) atas asetnya di Bank Indonesia, yang kemudian dijawab bank central dengan pengucuran FPJP. "Sebagian fraksi menilai tiga temuan mengindikasikan pelanggaran pidana. Sedangkan kami menilai ini hanya kesalahan administratif dalam penerapan kebijakan," kata Achsanul.

Keempat. soal peran dominan Sekretaris Komite Stabilitas, Raden Pardede, dalam penyusunan laporan Bank Indonesia ke Komite Stabilitas pada 21 November 2008. Kelima, soal dasar hukum keberadaan Komite Stabilitas yang tumpang-tindih antara UU Bank Indonesia, UU Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan. dan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang tentang Jaring Pengaman Sistem Keuangan. “Ini kan wilayah Mahkamah Konstitusi, bukan panitia angket parlemen.” katanya.

Keenam, soal keputusan Komite Stabilitas yang mengandalkan sepenuhnya laporan Bank Indonesia soal estimasi biaya bailout. "Menurut sebagian anggota Panitia Angket, seharusnya Komite Stabilitas melakukan review dan mengeluarkan perkiraan biaya bailout sendiri, bukannya mengandalkan data Bank Indonesia.- kata Achsanul.

the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) found that the amount of the guarantee deposited by Bank Century was only 83 percent," he said Third, is the question whether or not there was a letter requesting the FPJP from Bank Century. At that time. Bank Century had only filed for a repurchase agreement for its assets in Bank Indonesia, which the central bank responded to by giving the FPJP. "Some factions feel that these three findings indicate some kind of breach. Meanwhile, we feel that this is just an administrative error in applying the policy," said Achsanul.

Fourth, there is the dominant role of Raden Pardede, Secretary of the KSSK. in formulating the report of Bank Indonesia to the Stability Committee on November 2l, 2008. Fifth, involves the issue of the legal basis for the existence of the Stability Committee itself, which overlaps with the Law on Bank Indonesia. the Law on the Indonesian Savings Guarantee Board (LPS) and the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law regarding the Financial System Security Network. “This is of course the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court, not a parliamentary inquiry committee." he said, Sixth, there is the matter of the decision of the Stability Committee which fully relied on the report of Bank Indonesia regarding the estimated cost of the bailout. "According to some members of the Special Committee, the Stability Committee should have conducted a review and issued its own estimate of the cost of the bailout, not just rely on data from

Menurut Achsanul, semua partai koalisi sepakat adanya enam temuan itu, tapi berbeda sikap soal penafsiran temuan itu. Fraksi Demokrat, misalnya, menilai tidak ada indikasi korupsi atau pelanggaran hukum di enam temuan int. "Lain ceritanya kalau Panitia Angket menemukan aliran dana sekian puluh miliar ke Boediono dan Sri Mulyani. Tapi ini kan tidak ada?" kata Achsanul keras. Sementara Fraksi Golkar dan PKS ngotot menilai temuan-temuan itu sudah cukup untuk menyatakan kedua teknokrat itu bersalah. "Sikap kami hanya berdasarkan fakta dan data." kata Sekretarts Fraksi Golkar, Ade Komaruddin. Tim kecil Panitia Angket masih akan bertemu lagi sebelum rapat paripurna pada Selasa ini. Empat kubu pendapat yang masih ada, menurut Romahurmuzi, akan mencoba bergerak ke tengah. Achsanul mengaku akan berusaha menarik fraksi lain mendekat ke Demokrat. Kalau berhasil, dia memprediksi hanya akan ada dua kubu besar kubu yang menilai kebijakan bailout tidak bermasalah, dan kubu yang menilai sebaliknya. “Nanti kita voting di paripurna.” kata Achsanul. Minus Golkar dan PKS, tapi plus Gerindra, kubu Demokrat bisa menang tipis di pemungutan suara.

Namun hitung-hitungan kubu lain tidak seoptimistis Achsanul. Ade Komaruddin menilai pengelompokan menjadi dua kutub bisa dikatakan tidak mungkin terjadi. "Saya yakin, posisi semua fraksi tidak akan berubah dari pemandangan akhir di rapat Panitia Angket pekan lalu," katanya. Wakil Sekjen Golkar Lalu

Bank Indonesia," said Achsanul. According to Achsanul, all of the coalition parties agreed on these six findings, however they took different positions on what the findings implied. The Democrat Party faction, for instance, felt that there were no indications of corruption or crime in these six findings. "It would be a different story if the Special Committee found tens of billions of rupiah going to Boediono and Sri Mulyani. However, nothing like this happened," stressed Achsanul. Meanwhile, the Golkar and PKS factions insist that these findings are sufficient to declare the two technocrats guilty. "Our stance is only based on the facts and data," said Golkar faction secretary, Ade Komaruddin. The representative team of the Special Committee will meet again before the plenary session is held this Tuesday. The four different camps, according to Romahurmuzy, will try to move to the center. Achsanul said that he will attempt to draw the other factions closer to the stance of the Democrat Party. If he succeeds, he predicts there will only be two major camps: the one with the view that there was nothing wrong with the bailout, and one which contradicts it. "We will vote on it at the plenary session,” said Achsanul. Without Golkar and PKS, but with Gerindra, the Democrat Party could have a narrow victory. However, the calculations of the other camps are not as optimistic as the one by Achsanul. Ade Komaruddin says it would not be possible to group everyone into two camps. "I am sure that the positions of the factions will not change from their views given at the final meeting of the Special

Mara Satriawangsa membenarkan. Menurut dia, rapatrapat Panitia Angket adalah panggung politik yang diawasi publik dengan intens. "Bagaimana mungkin kami diharapkan berubah arah pada saat-saat terakhir seperti ini," katanya.

Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani tenang-tenang saja terhadap sengkarut Senayan dalam memutuskan nasibnya. Rabu pekan lalu, sambil tersenyum lepas dia mengomentari pandangan akhir fraksi-fraksi di Panitia Angket Century, sehari sebelumnya. "Saya senang dievaluasi, asalkan evaluasi itu secara obyektif, berdasarkan kinerja dan peraturan undang-undang." katanya. Dengan selendang merah muda di pundak kanan, Sri Mulyani tampak percaya diri. Ketika satu jurnalis bertanya apakah keceriannya hari itu berkaitan dengan dukungan politik Partai Demokrat dan koalisinva di DPR, Sri Mulyani tertawa. "Tidak ada hubungannya,” katanya. "Kalau proses hukum, politik, dan administrasi dievaluasi secara obyektif, saya tenang. Saya tahu saya sudah menjalankan semuanya sesuai undangundang." Wahyu Dhyatmika

Committee last week." he said. Golkar Deputy Secretary-General, Lalu Mara Satriawangsa, verified this. He said that the meetings of the Special Committee were a political stage that has become intensely monitored by the public. "How can we possibly be expected to change direction in these final moments?" he said. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani is calmly facing the dilemma she finds herself in, aware that the outcome will affect her future. On Wednesday last week, all smiles, she commented on the final views given by the factions in the Bank Century Special Committee, held the previous day. "I am happy to be evaluated, as long as the evaluation is done objectively, based on performance and the laws and regulations," she said. Wearing a pink shawl over her right shoulder, Sri Mulyani appeared confident. When one journalist asked if her good mood that day was connected with the political support of the Democrat Party and its coalition partners in the DPR, Sri Mulyani laughed. "That has nothing to do with it." she said. "If the legal, political, and administrative processes are evaluated objectively, I should be nothing but calm. I know that I have implemented everything according to law." Wahyu Dhyatmika

LAWYER Otto Cornelis Kaligis held out a pen for Muhammad Nazaruddin to sign. Nazaruddin, a suspect in a bribery case regarding an athletes' accommodation project for the upcoming SEA Games just sat still, ignoring the offer made by the lawyer. He refused to sign the paper in front of him. Only these two were in the meeting room located inside the detention facility of the police's Mobile Brigade (Brimob) Command Headquarters in Kelapa Dua, Depok, West Java, on Monday last week.

Alat perekam Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, yang sengaja dipasang di ruangan itu, kemudian menangkap adegan di ruangan lain. Muhammad Nasir, anggota Komisi Hukum Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, kakak kandung Nazaruddin, menemui mantan Bendahara Umum Partai Demokrat itu. Bertemu seperempat jam, tak banyak yang dibicarakan anakanak pasangan M. Latif dan Aminah ini. "Nazar lebih banvak diam." kata Ajun Komisaris Besar K. Budinian, juru bicara rumah tahanan Brimob.

A camera installed by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), captured the scene taking place in another room. Muhammad Nasir, a member of the Law Commission of the House of Representatives (DPR), Nazaruddin's older brother, met with this former Democrat Party treasurer. Lasting for about 15 minutes, not much was said between the two siblings. "Nazaruddin mostly kept quiet.” said Senior Adjunct Commissioner IC Budiman, spokesman for Brimob's detention facility.

several members of the House's Law Commission, such as Ahmad Yani from the United Development Party, and Nudirman Munir and Aziz Syamsuddin from the Golkar Party. They forced their way in, eventhough visiting Nazaruddin was only allowed with the authorization of the KPK.

Berdasarkan rekaman di rumah tahanan Brimob dan keterangan saksi, para anggota legislatif itu merangsek masuk meski dihalangi petugas. Mereka berkukuh hendak menemui Nazaruddin yang sebenarnya ogah menemui mereka. Para anggota Dewan beralasan kunjungan ke rumah tahanan merupakan bagian dari tugas mereka. Saya kan menjalankan tugas konstitusi. Kami mau melihat saja," ujar Nudirman dengan nada tinggi.

Based on the recordings at the Brimob detention facility and eyewitness testimony, these legislators inched their way inside, despite being obstructed by officers. They insisted on meeting Nazaruddin, who was actually not interested in meeting them. These legislators said that their visit to the detention facility was a part of their job. “I am carrying out constitutional duties. We just want to take a look,” said Nudirman in a high-pitched voice.

Kaligis juga sempat menunjukkan Surat kuasa yang ditandatangani Nazaruddin pada saat dalam pelarian di Singapura- Penyidik menolak surat itu karena tidak sesuai dengan aturan, yakni surat kuasa yang dibuat di luar negeri harus dilegalisasi Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia. Selain itu, mereka yang boleh masuk ruang tahanan harus mendapat persetujuan Nazaruddin. Guna menghindari cekcok berkepanjangan, penyidik akhirnya memperbolehkan Nazaruddin ditemui empat mata oleh Aziz Syamsuddin. Pada saat itulah anggota rombongan lain merangsek masuk. “Nanti pakai hak untuk diam saja,” kata Kaligis sembari menyerahkan buku soal hukum pidana. “Tanpa pengacara, jangan mau (diperiksa),” Nudirnian menimpali.

Kaligis also showed the power of attorney signed by Nazaruddin while he was on the run in Singapore. Investigators rejected this letter because it was not in accordance with regulations, as a power of attorney privilege made in another country must be legalized by the Indonesian embassy. In addition, those allowed into the detention facility must have Nazaruddin's approval. In order to avoid a lengthy dispute, investigators finally allowed Nazaruddin to meet privately with another lawyer, Aziz Syamsuddin. At this point the other members of the entourage made their way inside. “Later use right to remain silent,” said Kaligis while handing over a book on criminal law. “Without a lawyer present, don't agree [to be questioned]. “Nudirman retorted.

Sebelum ke tahanan Brimob, Nasir dan Kaligis menemui pemimpin DPR: Marzuki Alie (Demokrat), Pramono Anung (PDI Perjuangan), dan Anis Matta (PKS), Nasir mengeluhkan susahnya menemui Nazaruddin dan kekhawatiran akan kondisi kesehatannya. "Sangat mungkin Nazaruddin mengalami pencucian otak,” kata Kaligis di DPR sebelum bertolak ke tahanan Brimob. ***

NAZARUDDIN dibawa ke Indonesia dari Kolumbia pada 13 Agustus lalu. Sejak Nazaruddin tiba di Tanan Air kasusnya menciptakan berbagai kisah. Drama pertama tersaji ketika turun dari pesawat carteran Guifstreaum, dengan tangan diborgolkan ke seorang penyidik KPK Nazaruddin dikawal ketat pasukan bersenjata lengkap. la diboyong ke Markas Brimob, baru kemudian diserahterimakan ke komisi antikorupsi pada malam harinva. Pemeriksaan perdana Nazaruddin soal biodatanva berlangsung hingga pukul 01.00 WIB. Dalam rekaman video KPK, terlihat Nazaruddin berbincang santai dengan dua penyidik diruang pemeriksaan berukuran sekitar 3 x 3 meter di lantai 7 gedung KPK. Ia ditawari rokok, kopi, hingga makanan dalam kotak berlauk rendang. “Sudah lama saya tidak makan nasi Padang,” ujar Nazaruddin sembari tersenyum kepada penyidik. Drama lain seputar Nazaruddin adalah perebutan hak pembelaan dua kubu pengacara, yakni Elza Syarief dan OC. Kaligis. Elza mengaku mendapat mandat dari

Before going to the Brimob detention, Nasir and Kaligis met with DPR leaders: Marzuki Alie (Democrat Party), Pramono Anung (Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle—PDIP), and Anis Matta (Justice and Prosperity Party-PKS). Nasir complained about the difficulty of meeting Nazaruddin and his concern for his health. “It is very possible that Nazaruddin was undergoing some kind of brainwashing,” said Kaligis in the DPR before going to the Brimob facility. *** NAZARUDDIN was brought back to Indonesia from Colombia on August 13. Nazaruddin’s return home created a number of dramatic stories. The first took place when he debarked the chartered Gulfstream airplane. Handcuffed to a KPK investigator, Nazaruddin was escorted under heavy guard of a fully armed police detail. He was taken to the Brimob, HQ and was turned over to the KPK later that night. Nazaruddin’s first session regarding his personal data lasted until l am. In the KPK’s video recording, Nazaruddin can be seen talking casually with two investigators in an interrogation room measuring about 3 x 3 meters on the seventh floor of the KPK Building. He was offered cigarettes, coffee, and a boxed lunch with an Indonesian dried beef dish. “I haven't eaten this kind of food for a long time,” said Nazaruddin smiling to investigators. Another drama involving Nazaruddin had to do with two camps fighting over who was his rightful legal counsel, namely Elza Syarief or O.C. Kaligis.

adik bungsu Nazaruddin, Mujahidin Nur Hasyim. Ia juga hadir ketika Nazaruddin pertama kali dibawa ke KPK. Selasa pekan lalu, ia mengunjungi Nazaruddin di tahanan Brimob, dan mendampingi pemeriksaan Nazaruddin. “Kalau Nazar mau ringan hukumannya, harus terbuka,” kata Elza.

Kaligis yang sejak awal mengklaim sebagai kuasa hukum Nazaruddin, mempertanyakan KPK yang menurut dia melarang pengacara menemui Nazaruddin saat berada di ruang tahanan. Ia juga kerap melontarkan kekhawatiran Nazaruddin dicuci otaknya oleh KPK. Surat yang menjadi pegangan Kaligis adalah surat penunjukannya sebagai penasihat hukum yang dibuat ketika Nazarudiing di Singapura. “Yang mempertemukan mereka adalah adalah Albert Panggabean,” kata sumber Tempo. Dalam pertemuan di Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapura itu, Kaligis mengaku tidak butuh dibayar. Kaligis membantah mengenal Albert Panggabean. Pernyataan Kaligis tentang upaya menghalanginya menemui Nazaruddin terbantahkan. Dalam rekaman video yang dilansir KPK, pada malam ketika Nazaruddin diperiksa KPK, perwakilan Kaligis, Afrian Bonjol, diperbolehkan penyidik menemuinya. Afrian menyodorkan surat kuasa untuk ditandatangani, tapi Nazaruddin menolak. “Nanti pemeriksaan kedua,” kata nya. Nazaruddin, menurut sumber di KPK, juga

Elza claimed he obtained a mandate from Nazaruddin's youngest brother, Mujahidin Nur Hasyim. He was present the first time Nazaruddin was taken to the KPK. On Tuesday last week, he visited Nazaruddin in the Brimob jail and was present for Nazaruddin's questioning by the KPK two days later. Elza said she only wanted to help Nazaraddin- “If Nazar wants to get a lenient sentence, he has to be open,” said Elza. Kaligis, who from the outset claimed to be Nazaruddin's lawyer, questioned the KPK, which, according to him, banned lawyers from seeing Nazaruddin when he is in custody. He has also raised his concern that Nazaruddin was being brainwashed by the KPK. The document that Kaligis holds is his letter of appointment as a legal advisor, made when Nazaruddin was in Singapore. “Albert Panggabean introduced them,” said a Tempo source. In that meeting at the Marina Mandarin Hotel in Singapore, Kaligis said he did not need to be paid. Kaligis denied knowing Albert Panggabean.

Kaligis's statement about efforts being made to prevent him from meeting Nazaruddin is debatable. In a video recording released by the KPK, on the night when Nazaruddin was questioned by the KPK, Kaligis's representative, Afrian Bonjol, was allowed to meet him by investigators. Afrian presented him a power of attorney letter to be signed, but he refused. “It happened later during the second questioning,” he said. Nazaruddin- according to a source in the KPK,

Satu per satu nama yang ditulis Nazaruddin pada secartik kertas adalah Neneng Sri Wahyuni, istrinya; M Nasir, kakaknya; Rita Zahara, kakak sulung; Hasyim, adiknya, Aan, sopir pribadi; dan Kaligis. Setelah menuliskan nama-nama itu. Nazaruddin berpikir sejenak, kemudian mencoret nama Kaligis. “Enggak usah aja,” ujarnya. Seorang advokat mengungkapkan Nazaruddin kecewa terhadap Kaligis. Pasalnya Kaligis berjanji tidak akan mengenakan biaya pendampingan. Nyatanya, Nazaruddin diharuskan membayar pengacara selama pelarian di Singapura. Terakhir, pengacara di Kolombia yang hendak mengurus suaka politiknya pun meminta bayaran US$ 1 juta (sekitar Rp 8.5 miliar). Tapi Nazaruddin membantah informasi miring itu. Meski berkali-kali menolak Kaligis, Nazar akhirnya menyerah. Surat kuasa untuk Kaligis ditekennya pada Selasa, 16 Agustus, di tahanan. Surat dititipkan Kaligis lewat Nasir. Sehari setelah itu. Kaligis menemui Nazaruddin di tahanan. Keesokan harinya, Nazaruddin diperiksa KPK. Di sinilah Nazaruddin memainkan babak baru dalam drama hidupnya: bungkam.

Dalam pemeriksaan selama dua jam, Nazaruddin lebih banyak menjawab lupa, kala 20 pertanyaan tentang peristiwa dugaan korupsi proyek wisma atlet diajukan. Ia menyampaikan kesediaanya menerima hukuman tanpa diperiksa. Bahkan dalam surat yang ditujukan kepada Presiden Susilo Bambang

was also asked to write down the names of friends and relatives who were allowed to visit him. The names that Nazaruddin wrote on a piece of paper were: Neneng Sri Wahyuni, his wife: M. Nasir, his older brother; Rita Zahara, his oldest sister; Hasyim, his younger brother. Aan, his driver; and Kaligis. After writing down those names, Nazaruddin thought for a moment, then crossed out Kaligis's name. “Not necessary. he said. One advocate said that Nazaruddin was disappointed with Kaligis. Kaligis had promised he would not charge any fees. As it turned out, Nazaruddin had to pay the lawyer for the duration of his flight in Singapore. Most recently, the lawyer in Colombia who was going to process his request for political asylum asked for a payment of US$1 million (about Rp 8.5 billion). Nazaruddin, however did not confirm this information. After repeatedly rejecting to be represented by Kaligis, Nazaruddin finally gave in. He signed the power of attorney in favor of Kaligis on Tuesday, August 16, while in detention. The letter was sent to Kaligis through Nasir. A day later, Kaligis met Nazaruddin in custody. The following day, Nazaruddin was questioned by the KPK. This was when Nazaruddin began a new chapter in his drama: keeping quiet. During the two hours of questioning, Nazaruddin mostly replied “I forget” to the 20 questions asked about the events surrounding the alleged embezzlement in the SEA Games accommodation project. He conveyed his willingness to accept punishment without being questioned. In

TERGILAS KERETA BEKAS (24 April 2011)

RAIL ROADED (April 26th, 2011)

SUATU hari, Oktober 2005, Soemino Eko Saputro menerima panggilan dari bosnya, Menteri Perhubungan Hatta Rajasa. Ia yang ketika itu Direktur Jenderal Perkeretaapian, segera datang ke ruang kerja Hatta di lantai 8 Gedung Karsa, Kantor Departemen Perhubungan, Jalan Merdeka Barat 8, Jakarta Pusat.

One day in October 2005, Soemino Eko Saputro received a call from his boss, Transportation Minister Hatta Rajasa. As he was then the Director-General of Railways, he immediately went to Hatta's office on the 8th floor of the Karsa Building at the Transportation Ministry headquarters in Central Jakarta.

Di ruang kerja Hatta, sudah menunggu lima orang tamu. Mereka adalah Achmad Hafisz Tohir, Hartanto Edhie Wibowo, Dicky Tjokrosaputro, Jon Erizal, dan seseorang bernama Agung. Belakangan, Soemino tahu mereka bukan orang sembarangan. Hafisz adalah adik Hatta, Hartanto merupakan adik bungsu Ani Yudhoyono, dan Jon Erizal tercatat sebagai Bendahara Umum Partai Amanat Nasional. Adapun Dicky merupakan Direktur Utama PT Power Telecom, perusahaan penyedia infrastruktur jaringan Internet. Agung adalah anggota staf Dicky.

Five guests were already waiting in Hatters office. They were: Achmad Hafisz Tohir, Hartanto Edhie Wibowo, Dicky Tjokrosaputro, Jon Erizal, and someone named Agung. Later, Soemino found out that these were no ordinary guests. Hafisz was Hatter's younger brother, Hartanto was the youngest brother of Ani Yudhoyono, and Jon Erizal was treasurer of the National Mandate Party (PAN). Dicky was CEO at PT Power Telecom, a company which provides infrastructure for internet networks. Agung was Dicky's staff member.

Speaking to investigators, Soemino said that this was the first time he was instructed to begin looking into procuring used trains from Japan. On Novermber 12,2005, he and Director of Safety and Facilities, Asril Syafei, and the five “Hatta Guest” flew to Tokyo. There, the entourage met with the management of Japan Railways Technical Service, which was once a train consultant for the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi area.

Menteri juga menyatakan kepada lima orang tamunya untuk ikut ke Jepang, karena ada usul swastanisasi operator kereta. Mereka mungkin berminat menjadi operator swasta.”

Japan, because there was a proposal to privatize the train operation and they might be interested in becoming the private operators.”

Ketika itu, problem kereta komuter menjadi sorotan. Kecelakaan penumpang yang naik di atap kereta rel listrik sering terjadi. Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono meminta Menteri Perhubungan menertibkan penumpang di atap kereta. Segera setelah itu, Hatta mengumpulkan bawahannya. Muncullah usul menambah 160 unit kereta bekas dari Jepang.

At that time, the commuter train problem was in the public spotlight. Passengers riding on the top of electric train cars were often getting into accidents. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono asked his Transportation Minister to resolve the problem of passengers riding atop trains. Soon after, Hatta gathered his senior officers at the ministry, and they came up with the idea to add 160 used passenger cars from Japan.

Kepada penyidik. Soemino, mengaku itulah perintah pertama yang diterimanya untuk mulai menjajaki pengadaan kereta bekas dari Jepang. Pada 12 November 2005, ia bersama Direktur Keselamatan dan Teknik Sarana Asril Syafei plus lima ‘tamu Hatta’ terbang ke Tokyo. Di sana, rombongan menemui manajemen Japan Railway Technical Service, yang pernah menjadi konsultan kereta di wilayah Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, dan Bekasi.

Perjalanan inilah yang belakangan menyeret Soemino menjadi pesakitan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. Dia dituduh menggelembungkan biaya pengangkutan kereta bekas dari Tokyo ke Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok. yang diduga merugikan negara Rp 10-16 miliar. Menjadi tersangka sejak November 2009, ia ditahan akhir Maret lalu.

Pekan lalu, Soemino menyatakan bersedia diwawancarai di tempatnya ditahan, penjara Cipinang, Jakarta Timur. Namun ia mengurungkannya pada Jumat, "Pak Soemino belum siap. Dia masih depresi,” kata Tumpal Halomoan Hutabarat. Pengacaranya.

Hatta Rajasa, kini Menteri Koordinator Perekonomian, membantah adanya pertemuan di ruang kerjanya itu. Dia mengatakan sang adik tidak mungkin terlibat dalam proyek pengadaan kereta. “Saat itu dia baru memulai bisnis telekomunikasi, tidak ada hubungan dengan kereta,” kata Ketua Umum Partai Amanat Nasional ini. Belakangan, ia menambahkan, bisnis telekomunikasi Hafisz pun tidak jadi dijalankan.

Last week, Soemino said he was willing to be interviewed where he was being held, at Cipinang Prison in East Jakarta. However, on Friday he called to cancel it. “Pak Soemino is not ready. He is still depressed.” Said Tupal Halomoan Hutabarat, his lawyer

Hatta Rajasa, currently the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, denied that such a meeting took place in his office. He said that his younger brother could not possibly be involved in the train procurement project. “At that time he had just begun a telecommunication business, and there was no connection with trains,” said Hatta, also PAN chairman Later, he added that halfisz’s telecommunication business had not progressed any further.

***

PENCARIAN Soemino untuk memperoleh kereta rel listrik di Jepang berbuah hasil. Lewat bantuan Japan Railway Technical Services. Soemino mendapatkan informasi soal 124 kereta bekas yang siap dihibahkan. Perinciannya: 33 unit dari Tokyo Car, 33 unit dari Tokyo Metro, 30 unit dari Tokyo Kosaku, dan sisanya dari Odakyu. Namun, dari jumlah itu, yang siap dikirim ke Indonesia hanya 60 unit. “Hasil perjalanan itu Saya laporkan ke Pak Hatta,” kata Soemino kepada penyidik.

However, of this amount, only 60 were ready to be sent to Indonesia. “I reported the findings from that trip to Pak Hatta,” Soemino told investigators.

On January 12, 2006, Soemino was again accompanied by Asril on another trip to Japan. On this second trip he had more intensive communication about the planned donations from a few train operators. In Japan, trains of a certain age must be destroyed or donated to other countries.

Kata Soemino, ia melaporkan hasil kunjungan ke Jepang kepada Menteri Hatta lewat surat tertanggal 26 Januari 2006. Isinya penjelasan soal alokasi dana yang tersedia dalam daftar isian penggunaan anggaran 2006 senilai Rp 76 miliar yang dipakai untuk pengadaan 160 unit kereta. “Sehari kemudian, Hatta menjawab surat itu lewat disposisi,” kata Tumpal menirukan Soemino. “Isinya proses lanjut.”

Soemino said that he reported the results of this 26, 2006. It explained the matter of the allocated funds Japan visit to Minister Hatta in a letter dated January available in the 2006 Budget Implementation Registration Form in the amount of Rp76 billion for the procurement of 160 train cars. "A day later, Hatta replied to the letter in a short note," said Tumpal, quoting Soemino. "It said to continue the process"

In early September, Soemino received an official letter from Asril Syafei about the trains being shipped by Sumitomo Corp. In this official letter, the director conveyed the need for further discussion about the donation and the cost of shipping 60 train cars to Indonesia. “In addition, we ask that an effort be made to directly appoint Sumitomo,” wrote Asril in his letter.

Pada awal September.

Masuknya Sumitomo menjadi koordinator perusahaan pengangkut kereta ke Indonesia merupakan rekomendasi dari Japan Railway Technical Services. Perusahaan perdagangan Jepang ini menyebutkan biaya pengangkutan senilai 9 juta yen (Rp 720 juta) per unit, sehingga total biaya yang harus dibayar pemerintah untuk biaya transportasi

60 kereta itu Rp 43.2 miliar. Soemino lalu menyurati Hatta. Dia .menjelaskan secara terperinci soal jadwal pengiriman kereta itu ke Indonesia. Terakhir, dia meminta Hatta menvetujui penunjukan langsung kepada Sumitomo. “Surat itu kembali dijawab Hatta lewat disposisi pada 2 November 2006,” kata Tumpal. Menurut dia, dalam disposisi itu Hatta menyatakan setuju dengan catatan pelaksanaannya dilakukan sesuai ketentuan yang berlaku.

Soemino then wrote to Hatta. He explained in detail the shipping schedule for the trains to be sent to Indonesia. He asked Hatta to approve the direct appointment of Sumitomo. "Hatta responded to this letter in a disposition note on November 2, 2006,” said Tumpal. According to Tumpal, in the note Hatta said that he approved the process with the reservation that, "its implementation be done according to the current stipulations."

Setelah melewati sejumlah proses. Satuan Kerja Pengembangan Perkeretaapian yang ditugasi menyiapkan proyek tersebut menyetujui penggunaan anggaran sebesar Rp 43.2 miliar. Perinciannya: Rp 14.4 miliar diambil dari anggaran 2006 dan dipakai untuk biaya angkut 20 unit kereta, lalu Rp 28.8 miliar dari anggaran 2007 untuk biaya angkut 40 unit kereta lain.

Further into the process, the Railway Development Work Unit which was assigned to prepare the project approved the use of Rp432 billion of budgeted funds. The breakdown: Rp14.4 billion would be taken from the 2006 budget and used to fund the shipment of 20 train units, and Rp28.8 billion from the 2007 budget would be used to fund the shipment of the other 40 train cars.

Hatta membantah telah memberikan persetujuan soal penunjukan langsung kepada Sumitomo. Dia mengatakan menulis disposisi untuk Sekretaris Jenderal Departemen Perhubungan agar mengkaji usul Soemino. “Disposisi saya selalu ditujukan ke Sekjen dan tidak pernah ke Dirjen,” katanya. Hatta menduga ada pihak yang sengaja memelintir dokumen untuk menyerangnya.

Hatta disagreed that he had approved the direct appointment of Sumitomo. He said that he wrote that note for the Secretary-General of the Transportation Ministry to study Soemino's proposal. My disposition notes were always addressed to the secretary-general and never to the director-general," he said. Hatta suspects that someone had intentionally misused the document to attack him.

Mantan Menteri-Sekretaris Negara ini mengatakan baru tahu belakangan bahwa proses pengadaan kereta bekas ini bermasalah. “Saya yang meminta proyek itu disetop dan minta Badan

Hatta said that he only found out later there was a problem with the used-train procurement process. "I was the one who asked that the project be stopped and asked the Finance Development Controller (BPKP) to conduct

Tumpal menilai janggal bantahan Hatta. Menurut dia, jika disposisi benar ditujukan buat Sekretaris Jenderal, kalimat yang tertulis bukan “setuju dan laksanakan sesuai aturan yang berlaku.” la juga menepis keterangan Hatta yang menyatakan tidak pernah mengeluarkan disposisi untuk Direktur Jenderal. Terbukti, pada 14 Juli 2006, Hatta pernah membuat disposisi untuk Sekretaris Jenderal dan Soemino setelah menerima Surat dari Presiden Direktur Japan Railway Technical Service.”Buktibukti disposisi itu akan kami serahkan ke KPK,” ujarnya. ***

Tumpal feels something is odd about Hatta’s denial. He said that if the disposition note was really addressed to the secretary general, the written sentence would not have read "approved and implement according to the current regulations." He also challenged Hatter's statement that he never issued a disposition note to a director-general. As proof, on July 14, 2006, Hatta once sent a note to the secretary-general and Soemino after receiving a letter from the CEO of Japan Railway Technical Service. "We submitted this disposition note to the KPK as evidence," he said. ***

BAU tak sedap pengadaan kereta bekas Jepang sampai ke Lapangan Banteng, kantor Departemen Keuangan. Satu nota dinas tertanggal 10 Mei 2007 dikirimkan Direktur Jenderal Pengelolaan Utang Rahmat Waluyanto kepada Menteri Keuangan ketika itu dijabat Sri Mulyani Indrawati. Isi nota dinas merupakan hasil rapat lintas departemen di Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional pada 12 Maret 2007, yang dihadiri pejabat Departemen Perhubungan dan Departemen Keuangan.

SUSPICIONS regarding the procurement of used Japanese train cars reached the office of the Finance Ministry. One official letter dated May 10, 2007, was sent by Director-General of Debt Management Rahmat Waluyanto to the Finance Minster–a position at that time held by Sri Mulyani Indrawati. The content of this official letter was the outcome of an inter-ministry meeting at the National Development Planning Board (Bappenas) on March 12, 2007, which was attended by officials of the ministries of Transportation and Finance.

Isinya menjelaskan soal penyimpangan prosedur pengadaan 60 kereta bekas dari Jepang.

This official letter also pointed out the propriety of the transportation cost for 50 train cars, which had already been paid to Sumitomo. Because of the high cost, it was suggested that the contract for the 10 other train cars which had not yet been shipped be cancelled. Two weeks after sending the official letter, Rahmat sent a letter to the Directorate General of Railways. In it he explained the procedural violations on the procurement of 60 used train cars from Japan.

Ketika dimintai konfirmasi soal nota dinas itu, Rahmat menolak berkomentar. “Kalau soal dokumen internal, saya no comment,” katanya, kepada Fanny Febiana dari Tempo. Tumpal mengatakan kliennya meminta keadilan dalam kasus ini. Menurut dia, Soemino berkukuh tidak mendapat keuntungan dari proyek dan berkeyakinan tidak ada kerugian negara dari kebijakan itu. “Tapi, kalau Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi tetap menilai ada kerugian Negara, bukan hanya Soemino yang harus bertanggung jawab,” katanya. Atasan dan pihak lain juga harus dijerat.” Hatta mengaku menyerahkan sepenuhnya kasus ini ke Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. “Biarlah proses ini berjalan. Saya tidak ingin mencampurinya,” ujarnya.

When asked to confirm that official letter, Rahmat refused to comment, "I have no comment about that internal document," he told Fanny Febiana from Tempo. Tumpal said that his client has asked for justice in this case. Soemino insisted that he did not profit from the project and believes that the state suffered no losses as a result of this policy. "However, if the KPK still feels losses were incurred, Soemino is not the only one who must be held responsible,” he said. His superiors and other parties must also be implicated."

Tumpal Halomoan Hutabarat, lawyer for Soemino Eko Saputro, a suspect in the procurement of used trains from Japan, accused Hafisz and Hartanto of being involved in the project which implicated his client. Each time his client went to Japan to look into the procurement of used trains. Hafisz's group always tagged along "As if they didn't want to miss the train,” he said. Speaking to investigators, Soemino said that his trips to Japan were made during the procurement process, as instructed by Hatter.

Hatta, yang juga Ketua Umum PAN, membantah keterlibatan adiknya dalam proyek ini. “Bisnis dia itu perminyakan,” katanya. Hatta mengakui adiknya pernah mencoba peruntungan di bisnis telekomunikasi. “Hanya sebentar. Itu pun diajak temannya.” Hatta juga membantah ikut campur dalam soal kerja sama PowerTel dengan Direktorat Jenderal Perkeretaapian. “Saya marah betul kalau keluarga saya ikut dalam proyekproyek,” ujarnya.

Hatta, who is also PAN, denied that his younger brother was involved in the project. “His business is in petroleum,” he said. Hatta said that his brother once tried his luck in the telecommunication business. "It was only for a short time. His friend had asked him to join.” Hatta also denied interfering in the cooperation between PowerTel and the Directorate General of Railways. “I will be really upset if my family is involved with projects,” said Hatta.

“SIDANG" itu terjadi di ruang kerja Jaksa Agung Hendarman Supandji di lantai dua gedung utama Kejaksaan Agung. Hari itu, Kamis dua pekan lalu, Hendarman meminta Jaksa Agung Muda Tindak Pidana Khusus Muhammad Amari menjelaskan pertemuannya dengan pengusaha Hary Tanoesoedibjo. Ikut dalam pertemuan itu Wakil Jaksa Agung Darmono, Jaksa Agung Muda Pengawasan yang juga mantan Jaksa Agung Muda Tindak Pidana Khusus Marwan Effendy, dan beberapa petinggi kejaksaan lainnya.

THE “hearing” took place at Attorney General Hendarman Supandji's office on the second floor of the main building of the Attorney General's Office (AGO). On that Thursday two weeks ago, Hendarman asked Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Muhammad Amari to explain his meeting with businessman Hary Tanoesoedibjo. Taking part in the meeting was Deputy Attorney General Darmono, Deputy Attorney General for Internal Supervision Marwan Effendy, the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, and several other senior AGO officials.

Kendati demikian, sebelum sidang itu ditutup, Hendarman dengan nada keras memperingatkan Amari. Sava minta itu jangan diulangi lagi.- ujar Hendarrnan, sebagaimana, dikutip sumber Tempo tersebut. Tak ada sanksi untuk Amari. “Teguran lisan itu sudah hukuman.” kata Hen-darman. ***

Having thrown up a series of questions. Hendarman finally issued his “judgment”-: his subordinate who had only held the post of Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes for around three months was not at fault. Nevertheless, before the "hearing” ended, in a harsh tone Hendarman issued Amari with a strong warning. “I ask that it not happen again,” said Hendarman, as quoted by the Tempo source. However, no punishment was imposed on Amari. “The verbal reprimand was the punishment,” said Hendarman. *** THE meeting that ignited the uproar occurred on Thursday three weeks ago- On that afternoon at around 3pm, lawyer Martin Pongrekun hurried up to the second floor of the Rotunda where the AGO has its offices. Following him were Hary Tanoesoedibjo and one of his staff members. Several AGO officials who knew Martin nodded respectfully. Martin was indeed no stranger to the building. Prior to opening a law firm, Martin was a former prosecutor and his last post was as the Deputy Attornay General for Civil & State Administration.

PERTEMUAN yang menyulut kehebohan itu terjadi pada Kamis tiga pekan lalu. Sore itu, sekitar pukul 15-00, pengacara Martin Pongrekun bergegas naik ke lantai dua Gedung Bundar, Kejaksaan Agung. Di belakangnya mengekor Hary Tanoesoedibjo dan seorang anggota stafnva. Sejumlah pegawai kejaksaan yang mengenal Martin mengangguk hormat. Gedung Kejaksaan Agung memang bukan tempat asing bagi Martin. Sebelum membuka firma hukum, Martin adalah jaksa. Jabatan terakhirnya juga tidak main-main: Jaksa Agung Muda Bidang Pembinaan.

Martin's “entourage” was received by Amari in his office on the second floor- He then contacted his subordinates, including among others, Special Crimes Investigations Director Arminsyah and one of the prosecutors investigating the Sisminbakum case, Esther PT Subea, to join in welcoming his guests.

Yang “mimpin" bukan Amari, melainkan Martin. Kepada "junior"-nya, Martin memperkenalkan kliennya sekaligus maksud kedatanganva. Hary menjelaskan perihal keterlibatan kakaknya dalam kasus Sisminbakum. Menurut Hary, kakak sulungnya, Hartono, tidak bersalah dalam kasus ini. Bos Media Nusantara Citra (MNC) ini—grup perusahaan yang antara lain membawahkan RCTI. Global TV dan koran Seputar Indonesia–menekankan tak ada duit yang dikorupsi dalam perkara Sisminbakum oleh grup perusahaannya.

Despite being the host, according to a Tempo source, the person who dominated the meeting was not Amari, but Martin. To his “juniors,” Martin introduced his client and the reason for their visit. Hary then explained his older brother's involvement in the Sisminbakum case. According to Hary, his brother Hartono was not at fault. The boss of Media Nusantara Citra (MNC) —a business group in charge of, among others, RCTI television, Global TV and the Seputar Indonesia newspaper—emphasized that his business group did not embezzle any money in the Sisminbakum case.

Menjelang akhir pertemuan, Martin dan Hary menembakkan pertanvaan inti: bagaimana kemungkinannya jika mereka membayar ganti rugi uang negara, yang menurut kejaksaan, diselewengkan dalam kasus Sisminbakum. Amari, menurut sumber Tempo, saat itu menjawab, “Itu sangat terbuka dilakukam- Hary mengejar: apakah jika pembayaran ganti rugi itu dilakukan, kasus ini akan selesai? “ Maksudnya tidak merembet ke mana-mana," ujar sumber itu. Pertanyaan ini tidak dijawab tegas Amari. Martin dan Hary meninggalkan Gedung Bundar sekitar pukul lima. Kehadirannya sepertinya tak tercium wartawan.

Towards the end of the meeting, Martin and Hary fired the key question: would it be possible for them to pay compensation to the state for the money that according to the AGO was embezzled in the Sisminbakum case. Amari, according to a Tempo source, answered, “[I'm] very open to that.” Hary quickly jumped in with: if such a compensation payment were made, would the case be resolved? “Meaning it would not spread around," said the source. Amari did not explicitly answer the question. Martin and Hary left the Rotunda Building at around 5pm. No journalists appeared to have got wind of the visit.

Sejak kasus ini merebak, Amari sulit ditemui juru tinta. Sebelumnva, kepada wartawan, Senin dua pekan lalu, dia menegaskan kedatangan Hary bukan untuk melobi kejaksaan. Ia menerima Hary karena status yang bersangkutan bukan tersangka atau terdakwa korupsi. Ditemui pada Kamis pekan lalu di Gedung Bundar, Arminsyah pun tak bersedia berkomentar tentang pertemuannya dengan Hary. “Untuk yang ini saya tak akan bicara." Katanya.

Since the case came to light, reporters have found it hard to meet with Amari Speaking with journalists prior to this on Monday two weeks go, he insisted that Hary’s visit was not to lobby the AGO. He received Hary because the person concerned was not a corruption suspect or defendant. When Tempo ran into him at the Rotunda on Thursday last week, Arminsyah was also not prepared to comment on the meeting with Hary, "I will say nothing on the matter," he said.

DISIDIK kejaksaan sejak akhir 2008, kasus Sisminbakum kini menuju titik akhir. Sejumlah tersangka kasus ini juga sudah divonis pengadilan. Bekas Direktur Jenderal Administrasi Badan Hukum Departemen Kehakiman Romli Atmasasmita dan Svamsuddin Manan Sinaga, misalnya, divonis pengadilan tinggi hukuman satu tahun penjara, Direktur Utama PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika (SRD) Yohanes Waworuntu dihukum Mahkamah Agung lima tahun penjara, plus membayar ganti rugi Rp 378 miliar. Adapun tersangka terakhir yang ditetapkan kejaksaan,

SUBJECT to a criminal investigation since late 2008, the Sisminbakum case is now approaching its conclusion. Several defendants in the case have already been sentenced by the courts. Former Ministry of Justice Legal Administration director-generals, Romli Atmasasmita and Syamsudin Manan Sinaga, for example, were sentenced by the High Court to one year in jail, PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika, CEO Yohanes Waworuntu, was sentenced to five years jail by the Supreme Court and ordered

to pay Rp378 billion in compensation. The case against the final two suspects, former Justice & Human Rights Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra and Hartono, is currently being processed in preparation for prosecution.

Jika Hary Tanoesoedibjo ikut khawatir kasus ini merembet ke mana-mana, itu sangat wajar. Beroperasi sejak Oktober 2000, proyek Sisminbakum terbilang erat berkaitan dengan Hary dan perusahaannya, Bhakti Investama. Modal pembuatan Sisminbakum sebesar Rp 500 juts. misaInva, dikucurkan dari kas Bhakti Investama. Kepada Tempo. Jumat pekan Wit, John Sarodja, pencipta Sisminbakum itu, bercerita ke kantor Bhakti Investama di Bapindo Plaza, pada 2000-an, mengambil upah proyek membuat Sisminbakum itu. “Waktu itu mereka belum punya gedung sendiri,” kata John. “Pembayarannya juga dicicil."

Hary Tanoesoedibjo's concerns that the case would spread far and wide is quite natural. Operating since October 2000, the Sisminbakum project is regarded as being closely linked with Hary and his company, PT Bhakti Investama. The Rp500 million in capital to establish Sisminbakum, for example, came out of Bhakti Investama's coffers- On Friday last week, the creator of Sisminbakum, John Sarodja, told Tempo how it Ryas upon moving to Bhakti Investama's offices in the Bapindo Plaza, some time around 2000, that he received a project wage to create Sisminbakum. "At the time they did not yet have their own building," said John. "The payment was also made in installments.”

Adapun saham PT Sarana juga dimiliki Bhakti Asset Management. Di sini, selain sempat menjabat wakil komisaris utama, Hartono memiliki saham. Didirikan pada 30 Juni 2000, PT Sarana inilah yang mengeruk duit dari sekitar 6.000 notaris yang ingin mendaftarkan badan hukum klien mereka. Selama delapan tahun beroperasi, kejaksaan menghitung duit yang masuk rekening SRD di Bank Danamon sekitar Rp 420 mihar. Duit itulah yang kemudian, menurut Yohanes, antara lain, dialirkan untuk kepentingan grup Hary.

It turns out that PT Sarana shares are also owned by Bhakti Asset Management. Aside from managing to become the companys deputy president commissioner, Hartono owns shares as well. Established on June 30, 2000, it was PT Sarana that collected the money from around 6.000 notaries wanting to register their clients- corporate entities. Over eight years of operation, the AGO calculates that around Rp 420 billion ended up in PT Sarana’s account in Bank Danamon. It is this money, according to Yohanes, among others, that was then channeled into Hares business group.

Sejak divonis Mahkamah pads 20 Mei silam, Yohanes sering bercerita mengungkap kebobrokan SRD. Sepanjang Juni, misalnya, dia mendatangi berbagai institusi: Lembaga Bantuan Hukum, DPR, Komisi Yudisial, dan Satuan Tugas Antikorupsi, mengadukan nasibnya. Dia mengaku hanya jadi alat di perusahaan itu. “Semua yang mengendalikan Hartono,” ujarnya, “ semua uang dan pengeluarannya yang memegang dia.” Karena itu, ia mengaku hanya korban. “Dari awal penyidikan kasus Sisminbakum oleh kejaksaan, saya sudah dikorbankan oleh bos saya, pemilik PT SRD, Hartono Tanoesoedibjo dan Hary Tanoesoedibjo,” tulis Yohanes dalam testimoninya. Dihubungi pada Kamis malam pekan lalu, Yohanes tak lagi banyak bicara. “Jantung saya sakit.- katanya, saya tak mau banyak cerita lagi.”

Since being sentenced by the Supreme Court on May 20, Yohanes has often told stories about the crimes committed by PT Sarana. Throughout June, for example, he visited several institutions including the Legal Aid Foundation, the House of Representatives (DPR), the Judicial Commission and the Anti-Corruption Task Force to complain about his misfortunes. He claims to simply have been used as a tool by the company. “Everything was controlled by Hartono,” he said, all of the money and expenditures were handled by him.” Because of this he claims to simply be a victim. “Right from the start of the criminal investigation into the Sisminbakum case by the AGO, I was sacrificed by my boss, the owner of PT Sarana Hartono Tanoesoedibjo and Hary Tanoesoedibjo,” wrote Yohanes in his testimony. When contacted on Thursday evening last week, Yohanes declined to say much. “My heart is unwell,” he said, "I don t want to talk much any more.”

Sumber Tempo di kejaksaan mengungkapkan salah satu alasan yang membuat kejaksaan sangat berhati-hati mengusut kasus ini: ia akan menyenggol sejumlah pejabat penting. “Aliran uang SRD itu ke mana-mana,” ujar seorang jaksa yang terlibat dalam penelisikan kasus ini. Jaksa ini, misalnya, menunjuk adanya duit yang diduga untuk membeli rumah Jenderal Abdul Haris Nasution di Jalan Teuku Umar, Jakarta Pusat, pads 2008- yang kemudian dijadikan museum di bawah pengawasan Dinas Sejarah Angkatan Darat. “Nilainva USS 10 juta,” kata sumber ini. “Kami peroleh dari dokumen pengeluaran uang SRD.”

A Tempo source at the AGO revealed that one of the reasons that the AGO is being extremely careful in investigating the case is that it could implicate several important officials. “The PT Sarana money ended up all over the place,” said a prosecutor that was involved in the investigation. They indicated, for example, that in 2008 the money was allegedly used to purchase the house of the late General Abdul Haris Nasution on JI. Teuku Umar in Central Jakarta, which was later turned into a museum under the supervision of the Army's Historical Office. “It was valued at USS 10 million,” said the source. “We obtained [the information] from PT Sarana 's financial expenditure

documents.” Jumat pekan lalu, Tempo menemui Yanti Nurdin Nasution, putri Jenderal Nasution, meminta klarifikasi mengenai hal ini. Menurut Yanti, pada 2007 keluarganya memang menjual rumah itu kepada seseorang bernama Mitra Abidin. Tapi pembayarannya lalu macet. “Presiden Yudhoyono, yang kemudian mengetahui rumah ini hendak dijual, turun tangan, dan rumah ini pun dibeli Angkatan Darat,” ujarnya. Dari mana Angkatan Darat mendapat dana membeli untuk rumah itu, Yanti menyatakan tidak tahu. “Yang penting. bagi kami, rumah ini jadi museum. Ini perjanjian kami dengan Angkatan Darat.”

On Friday last week, Tempo met with General Nasution"s daughter, Yanti Nurdin Nasution, in order to clarify the matter. According to Yanti, in 2007 her family did indeed sell the house to a person named Mitra Abidin. But the payment fell through. “President Yudhoyono, who then found out that the house was up for sale interceded, and the house was bought by the Army." she said. As to where the Army was able to obtain the funds to buy the house, Yanti stated that she did not know. “What is important for us is that the house became a museum. This was the agreement we had with the Army."

Kepala Dinas Penerangan TNI Angkatan Darat, Brigadir Jenderal Soewarno Widjonarko, membenarkan bahwa rumah di Jalan Teuku Umar itu dimiliki TNI-AD. Namun ia mengaku tidak mengetahui proses pembeliannya. “Saya belum menjabat waktu itu. Nanti saya cari tahu,” kata Soewarno, yang menjabat sejak Januari 2010, kepada Tito Sianipar dari Tempo melalui sambungan telepon Sabtu pekan lalu.

Chief Spokesman for the Indonesian Army, Brig. Gen. Soewarno Widjonarko, confirmed that the house on Jalan Teuku Umar belonged to the Army. But he claimed to have no idea of the process of its purchase. "I wasn't yet in office at the time. I'll find out later.” Soewarno, holding the post since January 2010, told Tempo's Tito Sianipar over the phone on Saturday last week.

Adapun pengacara PT Sarana, Andi F Simangunsong, ketika dihubungi pada Sabtu pekan lalu, menyatakan tidak mengetahui hal tersebut. “Kalau soal ini saya belum tahu. Tapi perusahaan itu keuangannya transparan, bisa dilihat ke mana saja aliran dananya. ***

Contacted on Saturday last week, PT Sarana 's attorney, Andi F. Simangunsong, said he did not know about the matter. “I don't know anything about the matter. But the company and its finances have been transparent, right? You can see where the funds went.” ***

DERASNYA uang yang mengalir ke berbagai penjuru itulah, menurut sumber Tempo, yang jika ditelusuri, akhirnya bisa merembet ke mana-mana. “Ini yang membuat Jaksa Agung sangat hati-hati menetapkan Hartono jadi tersangka,” ujar seorang jaksa yang sejak awal ditunjuk menangani kasus Sisminbakum. Menurut jaksa ini, saat kasus ini mulai ditelisik pada Oktober 2008, tim penyidik sudah memiliki bukti keterlibatan Hartono dan Yusril. “Bahkan tim sudah melakukan gelar perkara, menunjukkan pelanggaran hukum yang dilakukan Hartono dan Yusril.

IT is the deluge of money that flowed to various quarters, according to a Tempo source, which if followed up, could end up spreading all over the place. “This is what is making the Attorney General wary about declaring Hartono as a suspect,” said the prosecutor who was appointed from the start to handle the Sisminbakum case- According to the prosecutor, when the case began to be looked into in October 2008, the team of investigators already had evidence of Hartono's and Yusril:s involvement.”The team even conducted a presentation of a case, indicating the legal violations committed by Hartono and Yusril.”

Seorang petinggi kejaksaan mengakui peran Hary Tanoe besar dalam meredam kasus ini. Salah satu petinggi yang dimintai bantuan oleh Hary, ujar sumber ini, adalah Menteri-Sekretaris Negara Sudi Silalahi. Sumber Tempo lainnya, juga pejabat kejaksaan,. menyatakan Hendarman pernah bercerita dirinva diminta -mengerem- kasus ini. “Kepada kami Jaksa Agung bilang: 'Ada yang meminta demikian'.”

A senior AGO official claims that Hary played a major role in having the case hushed up. One of the senior officials from whom Hary asked for help, said the source, was State Secretary Sudi Silalahi. Another Tempo source, also an AGO official, stated that Hendarman once related how he had been asked to ‘put the brakes- on the case. “The Attorney General told us: ‘Someone asked that it be so’.”

RABU pekan lalu Hendarman menyatakan permintaan maafnya atas terjadinya polemik setelah pertemuan Amari-Hary. “Says minta maaf kepada masyarakat," ujarnva. Kendati demikian, Hendarman terkesan tetap membela anak buahnya. Menurut Hendarman, iktikad Amari sebenarnya baik. Hanya, ujarnya, karena dibaca lain oleh publik, hal itu kemudian jadi polemik-

On Wednesday last week Hendarman gave his apologies for the uproar that has occurred over the Amari-Hary meeting. “I apologize to the public," he said. Nevertheless, it appears as if Hendarman is still defending his subordinate. According to Hendarman. Amara actually had good intentions. Only, he said, because it was read otherwise by the public, the matter then turned into a polemic.

Tapi. seorang petinggi kejaksaan tak sependapat dengan Hendarman. Menurut dia, dalam kasus ini Amari jelas salah, dia ini melanggar peraturan internal kejaksaan yang dikeluarkan Hendarman pada 15 April 2008. “Pada butir satu di situ jelas tertulis, ‘setiap jaksa dilarang menenma tamu yang berhubungan dengan perkara’,” katanya. -Hary itu kan kakak pihak yang beperkara?”

But one particular senior AGO official disagrees with Hendarman. According to the official. Amari is clearly at fault because he violated an AGO internal regulation issued by Hendarman himself on April 15. 2008. “In point one it is clearly written, ‘all prosecutors are forbidden from accepting guests that are linked with a case’,” he said. "Hary and his older brother were the parties in litigation, right?”

“Because of this,” said Trimedya, “the only way in which the case can be diffused is if the AGO closes the door on Hary Tanoesoedibjo's offer to return the money to the state and immediately hands Yusril and Hartono over to the courts. Soon, we will also be summoning the Attorney General for an explanation of the case,” he said.

time limit on the criminal investigation will end in three weeks and there are still many witnesses that need to be questioned. So far, the prosecutors have only questioned one suspect and several witnesses from the Public Legal Administration Directorate General, the Ministry of Justice Employees Protection Cooperative, and the company that produced the Sisminbakum application.

Sebagian terpidana juga sudah diperiksa, termasuk bekas Direktur Jenderal Administrasi Hukum Umum Romli Atmasasmita dan Direktur Utama PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika Yohanes Waworuntu_ Pada 12 Mei lalu. Mahkamah Agung mengabulkan permohonan kasasi jaksa dan menghukum Yohanes lima tahun penjara. Yohanes juga harus membayar ganti rugi Rp 378 miliar. Sedangkan Romli masih menunggu putusan kasasi. Di pengadilan negeri, Romli divonis dua tahun, dan di tingkat banding hukuman itu dikorting jadi satu tahun

Several people already convicted over the case have also been questioned, including former Public Legal Administration Director-General Romli Atmasasmita and PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika CEO, Yohanes Waworuntu. On May 12, the Supreme Court granted an appeal by the prosecution and sentenced Yohanes to five years in jail. Yohanes also had to pay Rp378 billion in compensation. Romli meanwhile is still waiting on a Supreme Court appeal verdict. A district court earlier sentenced Romli to two years in jail, and at the appeal level the sentence was reduced to one year.

Dari sisa waktu yang ada, menurut Esther, penyidik masih harus memeriksa saksi dari PT Sarana sebagai rekanan, bank penampung duit, notaris, dan saksi ahli. Ditemui Tempo di ruang kerjanva, Direktur Penyidikan Pidana Khusus Arminsyah mengatakan keterangan para saksi dalam perkara Yusril dan Hartono sangat penting- Alasanya, kata dia, kedua tersangka selalu berkelit setiap kali diperiksa. “Saksi dan barang bukti ini yang nanti diuji di pengadilan," katanya.

In the time that remains, according to Esther, investigators still have to question witnesses from PT Sarana as the company that built and ran the site, the bank where the money was deposited, notaries, and expert witnesses. When Tempo met with him at his office, Special Crimes Investigations Director Arminsyah said that the testimonies of witnesses in the Yusril and Hartono cases were extremely important. The reason, he said, is because both suspects have been consistently evasive every time they

Dalam kasus yang diduga membuat negara tekor sampai Rp 420 miliar itu, jaksa menuduh Yusril karena perannya sebagai Menteri Kehakiman dan Hak Asasi Manusia yang menerbitkan surat keputusan pemberlakuan Sisminbakum. Yusril jugalah yang menerbitkan surat keputusan penunjukan PT Sarana dan Koperasi Pengayoman sebagai pengelola sistem online kenotariatan itu. Penyidik juga menduga Yusril ikut menikmati duit proyek itu-

In a case that allegedly resulted state losses of as much as Rp450 billion, the prosecution is charging Yusril for his role when he was the Minister of Justice & Human Rights, which issued the directive that put the Sisminbakum into effect. It was also Yusril that issued the directive appointing PT Sarana and the Employees Protection Cooperative as the managers of the online system used by notaries to register business entities. Investigators also allege that Yusril benefited financially from the project.

Adapun tuduhan ke Hartono, menurut Arminsvah, dialah yang memaraf dan menyetujui drat perjanjian pembagian access fee: 90 persen untuk PT Sarana dan sisanya buat Koperasi. Menurut jaksa, ia jugalah yang meneken hampir semua pengeluaran PT Sarana karena perannya sebagai pelengkap tanda tangan direktur utama atau countersign. Di pengadilan Yohanes, saksi dari Bank Danamon yang menampung duit Sisminbakum, Tien Novianti dan Mary Effendi, membenarkan soal peran Har tono ini-

As to the charges against Hartono, according to Arminsyah, it was he who initialed and agreed to the draft agreement on sharing the access fee: 90 percent for PT Sarana and the remainder for the cooperative. According to the prosecution, it was also Hartono that signed almost all of PT Saran's expenditures because of his role as the countersignatory to the CEO. In Yohanes's trial, two witnesses from Bank Danamon that held the Sisminbakum money, Tien Novianti and Mery Effendi, confirmed Hartono's role. Yohanes has a different version on the role played by his former boss. Hartono, he said, was the principle person in control, including the disbursement of money. The investigators themselves have yet to delve into this matter. “We are still concentrating on the countersignatory,”said Esther.

Yohanes punya versi lain tentang peran mantan bosnya itu. Hartono, kata dia, adalah pengendali utama, termasuk dalam hal pencairan uang. Penyidik sendin belum mendalami soal ini. “Kami masih berkonsentrasi di countersign itu,” kata Esther.

Although the objective grounds have been met in terms of legal penalties, according to Arminsvah, the pair have not been detained because the subjective grounds do not exist. These are, for example, that the suspect could abscond, repeat the offence, or remove material evidence.

Menurut Armmsvah, barang bukti sudah disita dan tersangka juga sudah tidak menjabat lagi sehingga mereka tak bisa menghilangkan barang bukti dan mengulangi perbuatan. “Mereka juga sudah dicekal,” katanya. Meski sempat pergi ke Taiwan sehari sebelum penetapan tersangka dan surat cegah-tangkalnya keluar, Hartono masih dianggap kooperatif oleh kejaksaan. la memenuhi panggilan pemeriksaan setelah panggilan kedua dilayangkan dua pekan kemudian. Sejauh ini Hartono sudah tiga kali diperiksa. Kepada penyidik ia membantah semua tudingan Yohanes.

According to Arminsyah, the evidence has already been impounded and the suspects no longer hold official positions so they would be unable to remove material evidence or repeat the offence. “They have also been banned from leaving the country,” he said. Although he flew to Taiwan for a day prior to being declared a suspect and the issuance of the travel ban notification, the AGO still considers Hartono as cooperative. He fulfilled a summons for questioning after a second summons was sent two weeks later. So far, Hartono has been questioned on three occasions and has told investigators he denies all of Yohanes's accusations.

Menurut pengacara Hartono, Hotman Paris Hutapea, dalam setiap pemeriksaan kliennya mengaku tidak punya peran apa-apa di PT Sarana. Hartono, kata Hotman, memang pernah meminjarn seribu dari sepuluh ribu saham di PT Sarana, tapi bukan sebagai pemegang saham. Namun dari dokumen perubahan anggaran dari PT Sarana di Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia pads 2004-2008, yang salinannya diperoleh Tempo, Hartono tercatat sebagai pemegang saham dan menjabat wakil komisaris utama.

According to Hartono's attorney, Hotman Paris Hutapea, at every single interrogation his client has insisted that he had no role whatsoever in PT Sarana. Hartono, said Hotman, did indeed once borrow 1.000 of 10.000 shares in PT Sarana, but not as a shareholder. However, according to a document on revisions to PT Sarana's statutes at the Ministry of Justice & Human Rights for the period 2004-2008, a copy of which was obtained by Tempo, Hartono is registered as a shareholder and holds the post of

Melalui pengacaranva, Hartono juga membantah menjadi pendiri PT Sarana. Ia balik menyebut Yohanes sebagai orang yang memiliki peran besar di perusahaan itu, termasuk dalam urusan pencairan duit Sisminbakum. ”Pengeluaran itu peran direktur utama,” kata Hotman.

Through his attorney, Hartono also denies being the founder of PT Sarana. He counters the accusations by citing Yohanes as the person who actually played a role in the company, including in the release of Sisminbakum monies. "Expenditures are the executive director's function." said Hotman.

Kendati selalu memenuhi panggilan kejaksaan, Yusril punya cara sendiri untuk berkelit. Pada panggilan pertama. 1 Juli lalu ia memprotes penetapannya sebagai tersangka dan menolak diperiksa. Yusril menilai posisi Hendarman Supandji sebagai Jaksa Agung pada kabinet saat ini tak sah karena tidak pernah dilantik Presiden. Sempat terjadi insider penutupan pintu gerbang saat ia hendak meninggalkan kompleks Kejaksaan Agung. Tak terima perlakuan itu, ia mengadukan Hendarman dan anak buahnya ke Markas Besar Kepolisian RI karena dianggap sewenang-wenang.

Although he always fulfilled the AGO's summons, Yusril has his own way of being evasive. When the first summons was issued on July 1, he protested about being declared a suspect and refused to be questioned. Yusril insists that Hendarman Supandji's current position as Attorney General in the cabinet is illegal because he was never inaugurated by the President. An incident once occurred in which the gate was closed when he wanted to leave the AGO complex. Unwilling to accept such treatment, he lodged a complaint against Hendarman and his subordinates with the National Police HQ, alleging that they had behaved arbitrarily.

Tak cuma itu, Yusril juga mengajukan uji materi Undang-Undang Kejaksaan ke Mahkarnah Konstitusi untuk menilai keabsahan Hendarman. Yusril kecewa karena yang mewakili pemerintah di sidang itu adalah Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia, Patrialis Akbar, bukan Hendarman. “Karena Hendarman yang menantang saya berdebat di pengadilan. Tapi apa boleh buat.- katanya-

Yusril also submitted a judicial review on the Law on the Attorney General's Office with the Constitutional Court in order to test the legality of Hendarman"s position. Yusril was disappointed because the person that represented the government in the review hearing was Justice & Human Rights Minister, Patrialis Akbar, not Hendarman. “Because it was Hendarman who challenged me to debate it out in court. But what could I do about it." he said.

Sebelumya, Hendarman mempersilakan Yusril menggugat ke Pengadilan Testa Usaha Negara soal tudingannya itu.. Karena berharap bisa berhadapan dengan Hendarman, Yusril memilih menggugat ke Mahkamah Konstitusi. Dengan dalih menunggu putusan uji materi ini, Yusril tidak mau menjawab pertanyaan penyidik saat diperiksa pada 12 dan 20 Juli lalu.

Earlier, Hendarman had invited Yusril to challenge him in the State Administrative Court over the charges. But because he hoped to be able to confront Hendarman face-to-face, Yusril elected to do so through the Constitutional Court. On the pretext of waiting for a judicial review verdict, Yusril refused to answer investigators' questions when he was interrogated on July 12 and 20.

Upaya lepas dari jerat hukum juga digalang Romli. Pada 22 Juli lalu. ia mengadu ke Komisi Hukum Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat- Romli menuding kejaksaan merekayasa kasusnya karena tak pernah bisa menunjukkan dokumen asli bukti keterlibatannya. Ia menunjuk salinan surat perjanjian pembagian access fee antara Direktorat Jenderal Administrasi Hukum Umum dan Koperasi Pengayoman beserta kuitansi penerimaan uang yang dibubuhi tanda tangannya. Bukti ini dianggap Rornli palsu.”Karena saya tak pernah menandatanganinya," katanya.

Romli has also tried to escape indictment. On July 22, he lodged a complaint with the House of Representatives Legal Commission. Romli accused the AGO of engineering the case against him because he had never been able to show original documentary evidence of his involvement. He cites as an example a copy of an agreement on sharing the access fee between the Public Legal Administration Directorate General and the Employees Protection Cooperative along with a receipt certifying the acceptance of money, affixed to which is his signature. Romli believes this evidence is forged. “Because 1 never signed it," he said. Not wanting to be left behind, the Hartono camp also began a campaign to find a way to escape indictment- This included "sending- his younger brother, Bambang Hary Tanoesoedibjo, to meet with Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Mohammad Amari.

He is positive that Romli will be found guilty because the witnesses and evidence corroborate the case, including a confession by former Employees Protection Cooperative Chairman, Ali Amran Jannah that clearly mentions Romli's role in the affair. As to the ‘campaigns- being waged byYusril and Hartono, Arminsyah said. “The crimes will be proven after Yohanes's Supreme Court appeal verdict. So leave it up to the courts to test it."
