The Attorney General's Office Disbursed The Pegi Setiawan Factors Winning Pretrial

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) said that the formal factors that were not carried out by West Java Police investigators were summoning and examining Pegi Setiawan as a witness.

This became one of the basis for the sole judge at the Bandung District Court to raise Pegi Setiawan's lawsuit regarding the determination of the suspect in the murder case of Vina and Eky Cirebon.

"For example, if we follow it, that this suspect was not summoned but was immediately declared a DPO," said Head of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, to reporters, Monday, July 8.

"After being arrested, he was not examined as a witness but was examined as a suspect," he continued.

In fact, when referring to the Constitutional Court's Decree (MK), in handling a case, the alleged perpetrator must be examined as a witness first.

That stage is what investigators did not do. Thus, there is a formal defect in handling the Peti Setiawan case.

"Referring to the Constitutional Court's decision that an examination must be carried out as a witness first. If you find sufficient preliminary evidence against the person concerned, you will be examined as a suspect. This procedure is not carried out," said Harli.

Peti Setiawan won 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.

Several points of the judge's decision were to release Pegi Setiawan from detention. Then, ordered West Java Police investigators to stop the investigation process against Pegi Setiawan.

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