Witness Allows Defendant in K3 Certificate Case to Use Her Bank Account for Transactions, Citing Trust
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - An administrative staff member at one of the Special Schools (SLB) Dwi Ariyanti acknowledged that she allowed the former Sub‑Coordinator of Partnerships and Occupational Health Personnel at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker), Anitasari Kusumawati, to use her bank account to hold a sum of money related to the alleged extortion case over processing the K3 certificate.
Her statement was delivered as Dwi Ariyanti gave testimony as a witness in a trial regarding the alleged corruption in extorting the processing of the K3 certificate with the defendant Anitasari Kusumawati.
“Why would a witness allow Anita Sari’s account to be used for that amount? And it happened repeatedly up to billions,” asked the Prosecutor (JPU) from the KPK during the continued hearing at the Central Jakarta District Court (PN) of the Corruption Court, Friday (6/3/2026).
Then the Prosecutor (JPU) from the KPK asked Dwi whether she did not suspect that Anita’s actions violated the law.
“Did you not think that this was something illegal?” asked the Prosecutor.
“Not,” she replied.
Hearing this answer, the Panel of Judges at PN Tipikor asked the Prosecutor to show one of the transfer proofs from Dwi’s account.
“There is one,” she answered.
“Then whose money is it?” asked the panel.
“From Bu Anita, it means,” replied Dwi.
In this case, the former Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer alias Noel and his accomplices are charged with receiving Rp 6.5 billion from extorting applicants for K3 certificates and licenses.
This was stated by the Prosecutor in the first indictment in the corruption case of extortion in processing K3 certificates at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday (19/1/2026).
The Prosecutor stated that Noel himself received Rp 3,365,000,000 and 1 unit Ducati Scrambler motorcycle with Police Number B 4225 SUQ from civil servants at the Ministry and other private parties in this case.
The Prosecutor said Noel did not report the receipt to the KPK within 30 days as required under the Corruption Eradication Law.
For his actions, Noel is charged under Article 12 letter e in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law together with Article 20 letter c of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph (1) of the Penal Code.
