Priharsa mengatakan, Sudjadnan sebelumnya adalah mantan duta besar Indonesia untuk Amerika Serikat (AS) dan kepada KPK mengaku sebagai korban.
"Saya jadi korban dari kasus korupsi ini," katanya, seraya mengaku sebagai korban dari tindak korupsi anak buahnya di kementerian luar negeri.
Ia menambahkan, sebagai sekretaris panitia penyelenggara Tsunami Summit pada Januari 2005, ia berhasil meraih donasi Rp42 triliun untuk korban tsunami di Aceh.
Dia mengatakan, sebagai sekretaris jenderal kementerian luar negeri dia bertanggung jawab untuk pencairan dana untuk konferensi internasional yang diselenggarakan oleh kementerian luar negeri pada 2004-2005.
Namun, yang paling bertanggung jawab adalah bawahannya, para anggota panitia seminar yang secara langsung menangani keuangan dan logistik, katanya.
Ia mengatakan Eka Warsita, kepala biro keuangan, dan Putu, manajer anggaran yang paling bertanggung jawab.
"Mereka menggunakan uang. Mereka menghabiskan uang dan kemudian dilaporkan kepada saya berapa banyak dana yang mereka habiskan," katanya.
