The copy of the audit results was not only given to the defendant. But also to the panel of judges. In fact, said Tom Lembong, the data was used as the basis for calculating the losses of the country during the investigation and investigation process.
"Today's audit of BPKP is still not complete, it's still not final, we still can't be shown not only as defendants, but also to the panel of judges," said Tom Lembong.
Previously, the panel of judges asked the prosecutor to provide the results of the audit of state losses conducted by BPKP to the defendant and his Legal Advisory Team.
The judge said Tom Lembong and his legal team had the right to accept the audit results. So, the order must be carried out.
"So for the attitude of the assembly, we still guarantee, fulfill the rights of the defendant to study, know the audit results. We must before the examination or submission of the expert, auditors from the BPKP, public prosecutors are obliged to submit the report to us and also to legal advisors," said presiding judge Dennie Arsan Fatrix.
