Bandung District Court Judge Rejects Pretrial Lawsuit Of Suspect Pinjol

BANDUNG - The Bandung District Court (PN) panel of judges rejected the pretrial lawsuit filed by the suspect in the online loan (pinjol) case with the initials AZ, which was revealed by the West Java Police.

Bandung District Court Judge Yuli assessed that the process of determining the suspect carried out by the West Java Regional Police in revealing the case was in accordance with the procedure so that AZ will continue to undergo trial along with other suspects.

"Refuse the pretrial application in its entirety," said Yuli as the sole judge at the Bandung District Court, West Java, quoted by Antara, Monday, November 22.

The judge stated that the applicant or AZ could not prove the arguments he put forward in the pretrial. On the other hand, the defendant, namely the West Java Regional Police, according to the judge, could prove a number of arguments in his answer.

According to the judge, the police evidence related to the process of searching, arresting, confiscation and determining the suspect was in accordance with the procedure.

There is also a loan case that was revealed by the West Java Regional Police in October 2021 as a follow-up to a report from a victim who was in debt.

After being investigated, the police found instructions for the loan application to be based in Yogyakarta, so a number of West Java Regional Police officers raided the office and arrested as many as 86 people from Yogyakarta and brought them to the West Java Regional Police.

Of the 86 people, eight people were named as suspects and one of them was AZ who had a position as HRD at the loan company.
