JAKARTA - Constitutional Law expert Mahfud MD hopes that PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto will get justice in the trial of the verdict on the alleged bribery case for the interim replacement management (PAW) which will be held tomorrow.

Mahfud emphasized that he could not predict whether Hasto would be acquitted of his accusations or not. The former vice presidential candidate promoted by PDIP only hopes that Hasto will get justice for the judge.

"I can't predict, but I hope justice will decrease. Unlike Tom Lembong, where the decision does have very principled problems," said Mahfud MD at the Golkar Party DPP office, Thursday, July 24.

"What is it like? Yes, like the judge, he doesn't understand the way of the concept between norms and principles, it's full of elements. I don't understand. Now this is a danger in my opinion," continued the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK).

Mahfud also submitted the decision regarding Hasto's verdict to the judge who chaired the trial at the Corruption Court, tomorrow.

"Hopefully tomorrow Mas Hasto will also get justice. Like what? I don't know, because it's a judge," said Mahfud.

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto will undergo a trial to read the verdict or verdict for the alleged bribery case for the replacement of the DPR for the 2019-2024 period and the obstruction of the Harlun Masiku investigation, tomorrow, Friday, July 25.

The trial for reading this decision was held after the entire judicial process, starting from the indictment, evidence, demands, to the defense, had been completed.

"After the Assembly has deliberated, we will drop the plan for the verdict on Friday, July 25, 2025," said Chief Justice Rios Rahmanto, during a trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Friday, July 18.

In this case, Hasto is known to be charged with imprisonment for 7 years. In addition, the prosecutor also demanded a fine of Rp600 million.

The fine is demanded that if it is not paid, it will be replaced with a prison sentence of 6 months.
