Jakarta –
Former flight attendant Siwi Widi Purwanti was sharply quipped by the presiding judge in the trial of the money laundering case (TPPU) former employee of the Directorate of Taxes Wawan Ridwan, Fahzal Hendri. Siwi received sharp sarcasm for admitting to forgetting when asked about his relationship with Wawan Ridwan’s son, M Farsha Kautsar.
Monitoring detik.com At the Jakarta Non-Corruption Court (Tipikor), Jl Bungur Besar Raya, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (10/5/2022), Siwi Widi was present as a witness to the trial of the ML case of Wawan Ridwan. Siwi was initially asked about the hundreds of millions of rupiah that Farsah gave in 2019.
“Yes (transferred by Farsha Rp. 647 million) for my interests,” said Siwi in response to judge Fahzal.
Siwi also admitted that he did not know the origin of the money sent by Farsha. He admitted that he had no suspicions about the origin of the money because, according to him, Farsha often talked about his luxurious life.
“Farsha always talks about her life, which in my opinion, is normal to spend that amount of money. So I have no doubts or suspicions,” said Siwi.
Then the judge asked Siwi about the relationship with Farsha which lasted only 3 months, from April 2019 to June 2019. However, Siwi admitted that he forgot when he was asked about blocking his cellphone number.
“So your number is blocked? Or is it his number that you have blocked?” asked judge Fahzal.
“Forgotten, Your Majesty,” replied Siwi.
It was the ‘forgetting’ answer that prompted judge Fahzal to warn Siwi. Fahzal guarantees that Siwi will remember when he was examined by the KPK so that he became a witness in the trial of corruption cases.
“Forget it? It’s a new incident, so you as a witness in the corruption trial is not something that is easily forgotten. It’s easy to forget trivial things. , maybe it’s once in your life, you must remember that,” said judge Fahzal.
Siwi then apologized. He again mentioned that the incident of being given money by Farsha occurred in 2019.
“Sorry, Your Honor, at that time I did not know there was a summons. At that time 2019, the summons was in 2021,” said Siwi.
In this trial, sitting as the defendant is the former Head of Registration for Extensification and Assessment of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes of South Sulawesi, Wawan Ridwan. Wawan was accused of committing money laundering offences with his son, M Farsha Kautsar.
Wawan and his son are said by the prosecutor to hide the money by placing the money in a number of places. One of them transferred it to Siwi Widi and a number of others.
