Upset, Lawyer Spent Tens Of Millions At The Banyuwangi Police
BANYUWANGI - Lawyer Nanang Slamet spent tens of millions at the Banyuwangi Police Headquarters, East Java.
This act of wasting money is an expression of his anger at police officers who are suspected of demeaning the advocate profession.
Nanang said that the police officer intervened with his client so that he would not use a lawyer to solve his legal problems.
According to him, when all witnesses have been examined by police officers, Nanang's client has never been examined.
"There is an allegation of intervention from the police in charge. Based on the testimony of my client presented by the witnesses, there is an intervention like this, why use a lawyer. Even though they already know us well," he told reporters, Monday, November 15.
As an advocate, according to Nanang, the actions of these police officers have brought down the dignity of law enforcement. He wondered why there was an attempt to intervene to separate the lawyer from his client.
"For us, as advocates, this really brings down the dignity of law enforcement. Is the state salary lacking? Even though they have been paid by the state," said Nanang accompanied by a number of other advocates.
Feeling that he was dropped, Nanang's lawyer threw Rp40 million in front of the Banyuwangi City Police Headquarters.
"I think according to my opinion, this police officer means less salary. Because they are trying to cut lawyers. Let's take the money already," said Nanang annoyed.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Banyuwangi City Police, AKP Kusmin, responded to the lawyer's waste of money. According to him, it is related to communication problems. He promised to find a common ground.
"We open communication and mediation as widely as possible. In this case, communication related to the witnesses may be examined, then convey it to Pak Nanang as to what," said Kusmin.
"So it must be communicated between the two parties, so that the club. What kind of communication is broken or what is not connected. So that no one feels right or maybe feels guilty," said Kusmin.
