JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor Team (JPU) doubts the truth of Djoko Tjandra's condition, who is reportedly sick. The sickness certificate is doubtful because it does not attach a medical record.

"Regarding the information on the letter stating that Djoko Tjandra was sick, the truth could not be believed because the information was sick because it was not accompanied by a medical record," said a member of the prosecutor team, Ridwan Ismawanta at the continued hearing of Djoko Tjandra's Reconsideration (PK) request at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday , July 27th.

According to the prosecutor, Djoko Tjandra's statement on June 17, 2020, did not include any medical personnel who conducted a medical examination. The prosecutor considered that the letter could not be justified.

In addition, the prosecutor also offended Djoko Tjandra, who was deemed not to have good faith to attend the trial directly. Therefore, the prosecutor asked the panel of judges to reject the trial application online or online.

"So that information about illness cannot be accounted for to find out whether Joko Soegiarto Tjandra (Djoko Tjandra) is really sick or not," said Ridwan.

Previously, Djoko Tjandra's legal team, Andi Putra Kusuma, asked the judges to hold an online trial. Because, Djoko Tjandra was called the legal team in a sick condition so he could not attend the trial.

Today is the fourth trial after Djoko Tjandra registered the PK effort to the South Jakarta District Court on June 8. But Djoko Tjandra never attended and was said to be a lawyer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for treatment.

The PK application was submitted by Djoko Tjandra on the decision of the Supreme Court (MA) which granted the PK application submitted by the prosecutor team on June 12, 2009. Djoko Tjandra, who was involved in the transfer of the right to collect debts from Bank Bali, was sentenced to 2 years in prison. The Supreme Court also sentenced to a fine of Rp. 15 million, a subsidiary of 3 months in prison.
