Peti Setiawan Free From West Java Police, Say Thank You To Jokowi To Prabowo

JAKARTA - Pegi Setiawan thanked many parties for their support until he was released from detention and his suspect status was killed.

Pegi also thanked President Jokowi to Prabowo Subianto in a brief statement after being released from the West Java Regional Police.

"Thank you to President Jokowi, Prabowo Subianto, netizens, I want to pray for all of you, and to journalists throughout Indonesia who have wanted to support me who have wanted to support me, I want to say (thank you) to my legal team who have also defended me," he said, Monday, July 8.

In detention, Pegi admitted that he spent a lot of time worshiping.

"As usual worship, at least go to bed to eat, eat at least," he said, quoted from Kompas TV broadcasts.

After being released, Pegi Setiawan immediately returned home. It is planned that Pegi will continue his work.

"Pulang, lanjut kerja," katanya.

Peti Setiawan was released at 21:38, Monday, July 8. Judging from Kompas TV broadcasts, Pegi Setiawan smiled and then shouted Allahu Akbar after giving a brief statement.

Pegi Setiawan's release is based on a pretrial decision. The sole judge of the Bandung District Court, Eman Sulaeman, ordered the West Java 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.

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

President Jokowi previously ordered the National Police Chief General Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo to oversee the murder case of Vina and her male friend, Muhammad Rizky or Eky in Cirebon, was guarded openly and transparently.

"Ask the National Police Chief. I have conveyed that the case is really guarded and transparent, everything is open," said President Jokowi after visiting Lawang Agung Market, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra, Thursday, May 30.

The President asked that nothing needs to be covered up against the legal process of Vina's case.

"There is nothing to cover up. If anything," said President Jokowi.
