Losing Against The KPK, Hasto Proposes Another Pretrial Using A Different Strategy

JAKARTA - PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto will again file a pretrial lawsuit against the status of a suspect named by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"On Friday we submitted a pretrial again," Hasto's team of attorneys, Ronny Talapessy, told reporters on Sunday, February 16.

Separately, Hasto Maqdir Ismail's attorney revealed that his party is now filing two pretrial lawsuits.

This follows up on the judge's decision, which previously rejected Hasto's pretrial lawsuit some time ago. Where, Hasto should have submitted two pretrial applications.

"Yes, our petition is to separate the bribery case and the obstruction of justice case," said Maqdir.

Previously, the sole judge at the South Jakarta District Court (PN), Djuyamto, stated that the request for a pretrial lawsuit by the Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, had run away or it was unclear. This is because the application was filed in one lawsuit

Hasto Kristiyanto's camp is known to have filed a lawsuit related to the validity of the process of determining the suspect in the case of alleged bribery for interim replacement (PAW) and obstruction of the investigation.

"The judge is of the opinion that the petitioner's petition should be submitted in two pretrial applications, not in one application. Considering the petitioner's application, which combines the valid or not of the investigation order or whether or not the determination of the suspect in one application must be declared ineligible. meet the formal requirements for the judicial application," said Djuyamto in a trial at the South Jakarta District Court (Jaksel), Thursday, February 13.

The raid on the process of proving two alleged criminal acts will use different evidence. Thus, this will be a consideration regarding the validity of the initial evidence.

"The consequences do not rule out the possibility that the evidence used in each criminal act is different, and of course it has the potential to influence the judge's assessment of the validity of the initial evidence used to determine the suspects in the two alleged criminal acts," said Djuyamto.
