JAKARTA - The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police stated that the two-day deadline between the summons and the time of the examination was normal.

This statement was in response to Edy Mulyadi's attorney who said the summons for examination was not in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP).

"So 2 days on Wednesday's summons to come on Friday is a natural thing," said Karo Penmas of the Public Relations Division of the Police Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan to reporters, Friday, January 28.

Ramadhan said the deadline was in accordance with the rules. The summons process is regulated in Article 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The regulation states that investigators must pay attention to a reasonable time limit between receiving a summons and the day a person must fulfill the summons.

"Meanwhile, what is meant by 3 days is the court hearing, while this stage is the investigation stage," said Ramadhan.

The head of Edy Mulyadi's team of lawyers, Herman Kadir, previously said that the summons against his client was not in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). This was one of the reasons Edy Mulyadi did not attend the examination.

"So it has to be at least 3 days, it's only been 2 days that there have been summons, the point is that it is not in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code," said Herman.

Therefore, Herman asked the investigators to correct the summons. So, the inspection process according to the rules.

"We ask that the summons be revised again," said Herman.
