Case of wrong transfer of 51 million rupees, the prosecutor: The defendant enjoyed the money and was entangled in court.

KOMPAS.com – The prosecutor charged the defendant Ardi Pratama with two years in prison in the case of illicit transfer from Bank Central Asia (BCA).

The lawsuit was read in a hearing held online at the Surabaya District Court on Wednesday (3/24/2021).

The prosecutor found Ardi guilty of violating Article 85 of Law No. 3 of 2011 on Fund Transfers.

“Demand that the panel of judges sentence the defendant Ardi Pratama to two years in prison,” said prosecutor Zulfikar when reading the charges at the trial.

Consideration of the prosecutor

According to Zulfikar, the defendant used the wrongly transferred 51 million rupees to buy basic necessities.

The money is also used to pay debts.

“An onerous consideration was that the defendant had enjoyed the illicit money transfer and the defendant was entangled during the trial,” Zulfikar said.

Meanwhile, the consideration that makes it easier is that the defendant is still young.

“And he has never been punished,” Zulfikar explained.

The defendant presented a defense

Responding to these demands, the defendant Adi Pratama, through his team of lawyers, presented a defense.

“We will present a pledoi or defense at the hearing next week,” said Ardi Pratama’s lawyer, Dipertius.

Ardi, who works as a car racer, has been in custody since November 26, 2020.

He is in prison after being reported for using an incorrect BCA money transfer worth Rs 51 million.

Ardi thought the money was a commission from the sale of two cars from his business.

It turned out that the money went into Ardi’s account because a bank employee entered the wrong account number. The employee then reported Ardi to the police because it was considered that he did not have good intentions to return the money.
