Do You Still Remember The Incident That The Via Vallen Car Was Burned? Disrespectful In Court, Perpetrator Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison

JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) Kejari Sidoarjo, East Java, has charged Pije, as the accused as the car burner of the singer Maulidiyah Oktavia or Via Vallen, with a three-year prison sentence.

"(Requesting that the judge) Sentenced the defendant Pije to imprisonment for three years in prison and reduced while the defendant is in custody with the order that the defendant remains detained," said Prosecutor Prosecutor Sidoarjo M Ridwan Dermawan while reading the indictment in a virtual trial reported by Antara, Wednesday, January 20.

The prosecutor assessed that the defendant was proven to have violated Article 187 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code. In his demands, the prosecutor considered things that were burdensome and mitigating.

For considerations that incriminate the defendant harming other parties, it is not polite in court. "The lightening thing is that the defendant is young, admits his actions and has never been convicted," he said.

Responding to the charges, the defendant objected to the dropped charges. "I object to you, Judge," said the defendant to the panel of judges chaired by Dameria Frisella Simanjuntak.

The defendant also asked that he be reunited with the Via Vallen family and accused that there was a plot that had to be exposed.

"My only request is Mrs. Hakim," he said.

The panel of judges then asked the defendant Pije to submit this objection in the next defense hearing.

"Please convey it in your defense. Please coordinate with your legal advisor," said the Chairman of the Dameria Council and the trial will continue next week.

The case began when the defendant Pije on June 30, 2020, at around 03.20 WIB burned the vehicle belonging to the Via Vallen singer which was parked next to Via Vallen's house in Kali Tengah Selatan Hamlet RT 02, RW 03, Kali Tengah Village, Tanggulangin District, Sidoarjo Regency.

It is suspected that the defendant was hurt that he wanted to meet Via Vallen in person but it never materialized.
