Cianjur District Court Rejects Pretrial Lawsuit Of PJU Corruption Suspect

CIANJUR - The District Court of Cianjur Regency, West Java, rejected the pretrial lawsuit filed by the suspect in the alleged corruption case of street lighting (PJU) Dadan Ginanjar against the Cianjur District Attorney because it was deemed in accordance with the provisions.

Chairman of the Panel of Judges at the Cianjur District Court, Fitria Septriana, said that all procedures carried out by the Cianjur Kejari investigator team to the confiscation and determination of suspects were in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

"All objection documents submitted by the applicant are rejected, including the applicant who cannot continue the lawsuit because a number of objection documents have been included in the provisions whose evidence can be carried out in the subject matter of the trial case," Fitria said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 13.

So the court decided to reject all pretrial lawsuits filed by applicant Dadan Ginajar as a suspect in the PJU corruption case through his attorney because the investigation carried out by the public prosecutor was in accordance with the Criminal Code and based on the Constitutional Court's decision.

"The petitioner's lawsuit, among others, is related to the unclear calculation of state losses, the source of official documents, and institutions that carry out calculations, which are part of the subject matter of the case, which will be proven later in the trial of the case," he said.

Based on the considerations above all the reasons for the pretrial application submitted by the applicant, it is not legally reasonable and must be rejected. "Considering the pretrial application submitted by the pretrial applicant, it is rejected," said the judge while tapping the hammer, the sign of the trial was closed.

The attorney for applicant Oon Suhendra, said that there were many weaknesses in the investigation process carried out by the prosecutor's office, but all of them were considered to be subject to the subject matter of the case, including state losses whose calculations were not clear, but the judge assessed that the subject matter of the case was included.

In fact, he said, the use of the Minister of Transportation Regulation (Permenhub) Number 27 of 2018 has been revoked, but is still used as the basis for the legal process, so that the calculation of state losses worth Rp. 8 billion is not calculated by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

"We still respect the judge's decision and will take advantage of the loophole in the evidence at the main court because the pretrial cannot be appealed, we just have to face the trial of the main case at Tipikor Bandung," he said.
