The Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto is sure that the PDI-P (PDIP) legal team will fulfill the summons of investigators as suspects on Thursday, February 20.

On the one hand, the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is expected to order investigators to postpone the investigation related to the bribery case for the management of interim replacement (PAW) members of the DPR RI and the obstruction of the investigation.

Johanes Tobing as a member of the PDIP's legal team assessed that the postponement of the examination had to be carried out because Hasto had submitted a pretrial application to the South Jakarta District Court (PN).

"We hope that the KPK Council will also provide direction, lah, to investigators for the postponement tomorrow," Johanes told reporters at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.

Johanes said the postponement should have been carried out until the pretrial decision submitted for the second time was knocked by the panel of judges.

"Therefore, yes, we ask that with the existence of being registered at the South Jakarta Court, please if the KPK Council, please give us space and time to complete the pretrial hearing on the 3rd (March, ed) later," he said.

"So we respect it first, everything must have legal certainty, there is law enforcement," continued the lawyer.

Hasto is planned to come around 10:00 WIB to the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. The politician will be accompanied by his attorney.

"Tomorrow comes. Yes, according to the summons, the summons will be at 10.00," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK developed an interim replacement bribery (PAW) case that ensnared former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan and his fugitive, Harun Masiku. Two people were later named as suspects, namely PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and Donny Tri Istiqomah who are PDIP cadres as well as lawyers.

Hasto is also a suspect in the obstruction of the investigation. He is suspected of trying to obstruct the legal process, one of which is by asking Harun to damage his cellphone and run away after the arrest operation (OTT) was carried out.

Regarding the determination of the suspect, Hasto submitted a pretrial to the South Jakarta District Court (PN) because he did not accept being a suspect. However, the judge decided not to accept the lawsuit because it was considered unclear or vague on Thursday, February 13.

Hasto's camp then filed a pretrial with the South Jakarta District Court on Friday, February 14 or the day after the decision was made by Djumyanto. They included two separate lawsuits, namely related to bribery cases and the obstruction of the investigation.

In this case, Hasto was questioned as a suspect on January 13. He underwent an examination for 3.5 hours and did not have an orange dream.
