Duplic 48 Pages, Hasto Accuses There Is Criminalization In His Case

The Secretary General (Sekjen) of the PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, stated that the duplicate that will be read contained legal engineering and various arbitrary actions that occurred in the case that ensnared him.

It is known that Hasto will read out the duplicate to answer the replica from the Public Prosecutor (JPU) in the alleged bribery case for managing the replacement between the DPR's 2019-2024 period and the obstruction of Harun Masiku's investigation, today, Friday, July 17.

"So I have prepared the duplicate as well as possible, so that the answer to the replica submitted by the prosecutor basically the lawsuit against justice is the main essence of legal engineering, as well as various arbitrary actions," Hasto told reporters at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Friday morning.

Dozens of duplicate sheets have been compiled by Hasto. It is hoped that the panel of judges who hear the case will consider it in drafting a verdict or a verdict.

"Many, 48 (pages) are enough because the letters are big," said Hasto.

In the replica, the prosecutor at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Wawan Yunarwanto emphasized that the investigation that dragged Hasto Kristiyanto was carried out based on new evidence found by investigators.

The affirmation was in response to the argument of Hasto's defense note, which submitted the indictment and the public prosecutor's indictment against the court's decision which had permanent legal force, so it had to be rejected and ruled out because it contradicted the legal facts revealed in court.

"The evidence has not been used as evidence in the trial of the case on behalf of Wahyu Setiawan together with Agustiani Tio Fridelina and the Saeful Bahri case," said prosecutor Wawan.

The prosecutor explained that the new evidence revealed Hasto's role in the corruption case of giving bribes to Wahyu together with Tio.

Thus, it was said that although in the previous decision Hasto's role had not yet been raised, this did not rule out Hasto being charged with a criminal act of corruption.

The prosecutor revealed this in accordance with the testimony of constitutional law expert Maruarar Siahaan in the trial, who explained that if the suspect had nothing to do with what had been stated in the old case, it would become a new case.

"But if that is the testimony of the witness mentioned something new is true and not related to what has been decided by the Court, experts think it is reasonable for a new case," said the prosecutor.
