Victim's Family Asks To Build A Mosque Worth Mercedes Benz, Ira Riswana: It Doesn't Make Sense

Ira Riswana accompanied by her attorney, Olop Turnip, visited the South Jakarta Metro Police on Monday, April 3 to provide information regarding a traffic accident involving his son, Maulana Malik Ibrahim and a teenager named Syamil.

As previously known, the accident caused Syamil to die. Until now, the case is still being investigated at the South Jakarta Metro Police.

Olop said there had been a meeting between Syamil's family and his client's family. At that time, it was discussed to resolve the problem amicably.

"I asked, what kind of legal resolution do you want, because if our consensus sets aside which one is right and which one is wrong. We both make that statement, meaning that we are at peace with this case," said Olop Turnip.

However, Olop said the deal failed because his client thought the request from the victim's family made no sense.

But from that side did not accept. There was a request from him which according to our client did not make sense. The deceased asked to build a mosque worth a car (Mercedes Benz). We said it was irrelevant because this incident was not what we wanted," said the lawyer.

Furthermore, Olop also rejected accusations that he and his client forced the victim's family to make peace by giving some money. He also considered Syamil to have made a mistake in the accident.

"This is an accident that happened was a violation of the red light from the motorbike, so there is no name, we give Rp. 15 million and we force it to sign (for peace), there is none of that. Because our settlement is not for peace, just for consensus," said Olop.

In addition to what was conveyed by his attorney, Ira Riswana also said there was another request from the victim's family. Not only that, he also stated that he had received threats.

"From their side, they also asked me to send my sister to school until it was finished and give details of tahlilan and everything. We have the evidence. From the victim's side, there is also a threat to us as if it will go viral. There is proof of everything to us," concluded Ira Riswana.
