Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin responded to the question of communicating with Joko Sugiarto Tjandra aka Djoko Tjandra. Burhanuddin emphasized that he did not know Djoko Tjandra.
This was expressed by Burhanuddin in a meeting with Commission III of the DPR, on Thursday (9/24/2020). Burhanuddin stressed that he had never asked prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari to handle the Djoko Tjandra case.
“Then I have to do video call with Djoko Tjandra? We do not know the name Djoko Tjandra. I never communicated with Djoko Tjandra, and I never ordered Pinangki to handle Djoko Tjandra, “Burhanuddin said.
Burhanuddin said that the prosecutor’s communication with Djoko Tjandra was stupid. He also emphasized that no other legal action had been taken in the case of Djoko Tjandra.
“It would be stupid if we did that. Because this case is just an execution. There are no other attempts, there are no other legal remedies. This is just an execution. If someone says ‘this could be PK’, how stupid would the prosecutor be? The executor alone need to do it, already there is a verdict. There is no other reason for the Prosecutor’s Office to carry out a PK, ”he said.
Burhanuddin also clarified his closeness to another suspect in this case, namely Andi Irfan Jaya, who is a close friend of Pinangki. Burhanuddin said that he had met Andi Irfan when he was still Kajati South Sulawesi. Burhanuddin emphasized that at this time he was no longer communicating with Andi Irfan.
“So is it true that I know Irfan Jaya? Yes Irfan Jaya, when I was in Kajati South Sulawesi, as an NGO, had met me. And since then, I have never had any more contact with him. That’s it,” Burhanuddin explained.
“At that time, I was gathering friends from NGOs to talk to us about settlement of cases in South Sulawesi. And I am completely with Irfan Jaya, I just know that,” he continued.
Burhanuddin also responded to the appearance of the initials BR on the related charges action plan Pinangki at trial. He stressed that he had ordered the AGO to openly investigate the Pinangki case.
“For my clarification, the first is that we are handling the Pinangki case openly. And I have never conveyed anything to the investigator, please do so openly. Even for charges that mention my name, I never care. Please, we are open to inquiries. . And my friends have, “he said.
On the other hand, the junior prosecutor general for special crimes (Jampidsus), Ali Mukartono, confirmed that the initials BR that appeared in the indictment against Pinangki were Burhanuddin. However, Ali stressed that Burhanuddin had never stopped the prosecutor from saying his name.
“That’s right sir, the big name has been mentioned in the indictment. It states that BR’s initials are Pak Burhanuddin, who is my Attorney General. The Attorney General never prevented him from mentioning that name. So Hatta called them former MA President Hatta Ali, “Ali said.
“But deep action plan Pinangki did not do this. Therefore, Djoko Tjandra decided to put an end to the plan to present a fatwa in December. “We will await progress in the trial,” he said.
