JAKARTA - The National Police responded to a statement about the public prosecutor having the opportunity to summon Kabareskrim, Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo, during the trial of the Joko Tjandra case.
Karo Penmas, Public Relations Division of the National Police, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono, said that his party fully left it to the panel of judges regarding the summons.
"Regarding the summoning activity, there are judges, of course we will respect whatever happens," Awi told reporters, Friday, November 27.
Awi then emphasized that Inspector General Napoleon's statement that the meeting with Tommy Sumardi had been approved by the Criminal Investigation Department never appeared during the investigation process.
"Once again, we need to explain that this is the testimony of the defendant NB in court, but it has never been in the BAP, the BAP of the suspect or other suspects. Indeed, the police have not found the legal facts so far," said Awi.
Previously, the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes at the Attorney General's Office, Ali Mukartono, did not rule out the possibility that the prosecutor would summon Kabareskrim. Because of that, the case became increasingly clear during the trial process.
"So that's why, if it is necessary to be summoned, it will be summoned. But if it does not need to be summoned, what is it for. So it depends on the interest, how will it be for proof at the Corruption Court," said Ali.
Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte mentioned that Tommy Sumardi visited his office in April 2020. At that time, Tommy said that he was close to Kabareskrim.
"The defendant (Tommy) said that this was not my language, but the language of the defendant, telling him his closeness to my place that I had the blessing of the Head of Criminal Investigation and Police," said Napoleon.
