Lawyer OC Kaligis stated that Achmad Fauzi, former Head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Detention Center.

Was a victim of slanderous charges without evidence by the prosecutor, so he asked for justice from the panel of judges at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court.

“There was no Rp. 19 million or Rp. 34 million confiscated and none of it was included in the defendant’s assets by the prosecutor against our client Achmad Fauzi,” said OC Kaligis in Jakarta, Monday.

Kaligis said that Fauzi was charged by the prosecutor with violating Article 12 letter e of Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning Corruption in conjunction with.

Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code, so he was sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of Rp. 250 million.

In the indictment, Fauzi received IDR 19 million and then changed to IDR 34 million.

In the prosecutor’s demands that this is far from the KPK standard, so there is doubt from the public prosecutor.

According to Kaligis, his party did not ask for a single rupiah in return.

Aka pro bono (free) in defending Fauzi, so his client must be free because there is no evidence showing the role and flow of funds to Fauzi.

This problem needs to be conveyed so that there is no perspective as if Fauzi can pay legal counsel to defend in the a quo case.

In the defense note (pledoi) against the prosecutor’s demands, Kaligis explained in detail as many as 40 pages in case registration No. 79 / TUT.01.06 / 24/11/2024.

“Achmad Fauzi did not order or receive a single cent of funds either directly or indirectly,” he said.

He added that the “village heads” as subjects who collected money from the discounters and distributed it stated that the defendant Fauzi did not have a monthly allowance as the prosecutor charged him with.

Even for the payment of the defendant’s child birth costs through BNI Life insurance which is a facility from the KPK and the shortfall was deducted from the salary in January 2023 to March 2023.

He hopes that the defendant Fauzi is not proven legally and convincingly to have committed a crime as demanded by the prosecutor.
