JAKARTA - Dito Mahendra's attorney, Abu Said Pelu, said that his client's absence was to be investigated by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police regarding the ownership of nine illegal firearms for family reasons. "Family events outside the city," said Abu Said Pelu at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police, Jakarta, Thursday, April 6. Abu Said Pelu did not explain in detail the exact location where Dito Mahendra was. Although, he claimed, he had communicated with Nindy Ayunda's husband by telephone. Regarding the topic of conversation with Dito, Abu Said Pelu mentioned about the power of attorney to become a lawyer. Asked further about Dito's lobby for questioning on April 11, he could not provide an answer. "We don't know about that because we were only given power yesterday," he said. Abu Said Pelu came to the National Police with a certificate of ownership of six firearms which were called illegal. Letters are claimed to be official from Kodam IV/Diponegoro. The letter cannot be confirmed validity. Because, it is a copy. In addition to the six guns, he also explained the other three called air softguns. "It's an air softgun. You also know that you don't need a letter," he said. Dito Mahendra was originally questioned by the KPK today for the handling of the alleged money laundering case of Nuhadi. In early February 2023, the person concerned came under investigation. But afterwards Dito was registered absent. The KPK emphasized that it would not hesitate to pick him up forcibly if he returned to work. "KPK continues to remind us to be cooperative in attending and we can firmly take forced efforts so that the person concerned is present to meet the Investigative Team,” said Head of the News Section Ali Fikri. For information, Nurhadi's alleged money laundering is not the first case handled by the KPK. The former Secretary of the Supreme Court has been sentenced to be found guilty in a bribery and gratification case with his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono.

Both of them have now served a sentence at the Sukamiskin Penitentiary (Lapas) for six years. They are required to pay a fine of Rp. 500 million, provided that if they are not paid, they will be replaced with imprisonment for three months. Meanwhile, at Bareskrim Polri, Dito is scheduled to be questioned regarding the alleged ownership of 9 illegal firearms.
