Winning Pretrial, Judge Orders West Java Police To Release Setiawan Legislators

JAKARTA - The sole judge of the Bandung District Court, Eman Sulaeman, ordered the West Java Regional Police to immediately release Pegi Setiawan from detention.

The order is a pretrial decision that won the Pegi Setiawan camp over his determination as a suspect in the alleged murder case against Vina and Eky Cirebon.

"Ordered the respondent to release the applicant from detention," said Judge Eman during a trial at the Bandung District Court, Monday, July 8.

In addition, in his decision, Judge Eman also stated that the letter of determination of the suspect number S.Tap/90/5/RES124/2024/Ditreskrimum dated May 21, 2024, was invalid.

So, that way, Pegi Setiawan is no longer a suspect in the alleged premeditated murder case.

The respondent, namely the West Java Regional Police, was also ordered to stop the investigation process against Pegi Setiawan.

"Ordered the respondent to stop the investigation of the applicant," said Judge Eman.

Previously, it was reported that Pegi Setiawan won in the pretrial regarding his determination as a suspect in the murder case of Vina and Eky Cirebon. This is because the sole judge granted all of his lawsuits.

Peti Setiawan is known to have been named a suspect by the West Java Regional Police on May 26, 2024.
