Kinanti Pinta Karana – Deputy Attorney General Abdul Hakim Ritonga said he only followed orders and procedure when processing the alleged bribery case involving two antigraft officials Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M Hamzah from the Corruption Eradication Commission.

"I didn't fabricate any plot. All I did was follow case procedure," he said during a press conference at the Attorney General's Office on Tuesday.

The allegations of a fabrication of charges against the officials at the commission, known as the KPK, came yesterday with the release of a transcript of wiretapped phone conversations. Ritonga's name was mentioned in the tapes.

"One night we were ordered to do a case presentation on the bribery case and misuse of power by officials from the National Police Headquarters," Ritonga said.

A case presentation is when the police as investigators present a case to prosecutors to get feedback before the dossier is handed to the prosecutor's office. Ritonga said the order came straight from the Attorney General and the National Police Chief.

"It was the chief detective of the National Police, Comr. Gen. Susno Duaji, himself who presented the case," Ritonga added. "In the case presentation, the alleged crime was misuse of power and forgery," he said.

Ritonga added that at the time he was also handling the murder case of businessman Nasrudin Zulkarnaen with former KPK chairman, Antasari Azhar, as a suspect.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Hendarman Supandji told the press that Ritonga only gave feedback to the police regarding the case. Hendarman said he did not understand how Ritonga's actions could be classified as fabricating a plot.
