W
hile giving testimony in the e-ID graft trial on Monday at the Jakarta Corruption Court, businessman Andi Agustinus, also known as Andi Narogong, claimed he only knew House of Representatives Speaker and Golkar Party chief Setya Novanto through a business cooperation they had in 2009.
Andi, a suspect in the case, said he met Setya when the politician asked him to make campaign supplies in 2009.
"I only met Setya Novanto two times in relation to the ordering of campaign supplies in 2009. I was introduced to Setya by a guy named Herman," he said.
Andi denied he met with Setya at the Gran Melia hotel.
In a previous case hearing when Setya testified as witness, Irman, a defendant in the case, said a meeting had taken place at the Gran Melia hotel between him, Setya Novanto, Andi Agustinus and former Home Ministry officials Diah Anggraini and Sugiharto, to discuss the e-ID project in 2010.
Andi further said he never met former Democratic Party politicians Anas Urbaningrum or Muhammad Nazaruddin.
Andi's name was brought up during Nazaruddin's testimony in the same case. Nazaruddin said he had a meeting with Andi and Anas to discuss the e-ID project in 2010. (rdi/wit)
