The inactive judge of the Surabaya District Court, Heru Hanindyo, said that Judge Mangapul had visited him and expressed regret regarding his statement at the trial.
Heru made this statement while reading his personal duplicate in the trial of the alleged bribery and gratification case related to Gregorius Ronald Tannur's acquittal.
It started when Heru was impressed by Mangapul's attitude for meeting him in the Central Jakarta District Court detention room after reading the demands.
"Out of trial hours, I am really impressed by the attitude of Mangapul who visited me when I was with my family, relatives, and a team of legal advisors in the Central Jakarta District Court detention room at around 18.00 WIB on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, namely after reading the demands of the public prosecutor," Heru said in a trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Monday, May 5.
During the meeting, Mangapul expressed his guilt. Because the information he conveyed had dragged or cornered Heru Hanindyo.
"What in essence Mangapul expressed regret over his statement about me and said that actually this incident was only between Erintuah Damanik and Lisa Rachmat, where Mangapul honestly did not know about it at all," he said.
Not only that, Mangapul is also said to have experienced inner conflict after giving testimony in the trial. Because, it is realized that this problem is only between Erintuah Damanik and Lisa Rachmat without involving other people.
"Mangapul said that his wife had the same thing with Erintuah Damanik's wife and child, which would be criminally processed by investigators," he said.
With the recognition from Mangapul, the panel of judges is expected to consider it and examine further the motives behind Heru's name being 'stripped' in the case of alleged bribery and / or gratification. Including, regarding Erintuah's intention to end her life while undergoing detention behind bars.

According to Heru, the action of his colleague was solely to involve the entire panel of judges who released Ronald Tannur as if he had also received money from Lisa Rachmat so that she would not be judged to play with Mangapul.
"At least the panel of judges, Your Majesty, can see the correlation between what the motives of Erintuah Damanik and Mangapul attracted him to the actions of the two of them," said Heru.
As a reminder, in this case Heru Hanindyo was sentenced to 12 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 750 million, subsidiary to six months in prison. The prosecutor assessed that Heru was proven to have violated Article 6 paragraph (2) and Article 12B in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law, as well as Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
Heru is one of three defendants suspected of accepting bribes of Rp4.67 billion and gratuities in rupiah currency, Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Japanese yen, euro, and Saudi riyal, in the case of Ronald Tannur's acquittal in 2024. The other two defendants are Erintuah Damanik and Mangapul.
