The Attorney For The Central Java Police Chief Did Not Bring Evidence At The Pretrial Session Of The NCO Extortion Case
The attorney for the Central Java Police Chief as the defendant did not file evidence of letters and witnesses in the pretrial trial for alleged extortion in the selection of the Central Java Police NCO in 2022.
In the trial agenda for submitting proof of the letter, only the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) attorney as the applicant submitted the proof of the letter in question.
"There are five pieces of letter submitted by the applicant. For the respondent, there is no proof of a letter," said Judge Kairul Soleh, who chaired the trial at the Semarang District Court (PN), Central Java, Thursday, April 13, which was confiscated by Antara.
After receiving the letter's evidence, the judge asked the readiness of the two parties to file witnesses and experts.
Both MAKI as the applicant and the Central Java Police Chief as the respondent will not apply for witnesses or experts.
For this matter, Kairul Saleh invited the two parties to conclude at the trial which was held on Friday, April 14.
The attorney for the Central Java Police Chief, when met after the trial, was reluctant to provide information related to today's trial.
