Not Entering Logika, South Jakarta District Court Rejects Pretrial For Misappropriation Of PAN Persons' Recess Funds

JAKARTA - South Jakarta District Court Judge Samuel Ginting stated that the pretrial lawsuit related to misappropriation of recess funds for members of the DPR RI PAN faction was unacceptable because it was not a pretrial object.

"Declare that the petitioner's application cannot be accepted," said Samuel Ginting in a hearing with the agenda of reading Case Decision Number 30/Pid.Pra/2023/PN JKT.SEL at the South Jakarta District Court, quoted by ANTARA, Monday 15 May.

Samuel said that the argument proposed by the applicant, namely the Legal Concerned Community Association (MPH), regarding the termination of the investigation secretly was not the scope of the pretrial object.

The petitioner asked the judge to declare that Termohon I, in this case, was the KPK, had temporarily suspended the handling of public reports related to allegations of corruption in the misappropriation of recess funds.

In addition, MPH also asked the judge to order the KPK to examine, summon, and investigate the General Chairperson of PAN Zulkifli Hasan and the Chairman of the BSN DPP PAN for alleged corruption in the misappropriation of the recess funds.

After the verdict hearing, the KPK Legal Bureau Muhammad Hafez stated that his party was still continuing the investigation related to this case.

He stated that until now the alleged misappropriation of campaign funds is still ongoing.

"It's still running, it's not stopped," Hafez told reporters at the South Jakarta District Court, Jakarta, Monday.

However, the case has not yet entered the investigation stage. Until now, the case is still at the investigation stage.

"This case has not yet reached the investigation, the investigation has not yet arrived. This (pretrial lawsuit) states that it has been terminated. 'It doesn't make sense," he said.

Previously, the alleged misappropriation and misuse of recess funds amounting to Rp135 million was said to have been carried out by unscrupulous members of the DPR RI Commission II (A-494) of the PAN Faction for other purposes.

The funds were sent via transfer to a BSN account with the account number Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) 800000086 on behalf of the National Witness Body DPP PAN in lithic Chairman of BSN DPP PAN.
