The panel of judges decided to reject the objection note or exception filed by the defendant Arif Rachman Arifin in the case of the obstruction of justice murder of Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J. Thus, the trial was continued to the stage of the examination or examination of witnesses.

"Rejected the objection or exception of the defendant's legal advisor Arif Rachman Arifin for the whole," said the judge during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, November 8.

The decision is because all the charges prepared by the Public Prosecutor (JPU) are in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). So, it can be used as the basis for the examination.

Thus, the panel of judges ordered the prosecutor to present witnesses. This is because the obstruction of juctice case with the defendant Arif Rachman Arifin was continued to the stage of proving the indictment.

"Ordered the public prosecutor to continue examining cases," said the judge.

Meanwhile, in the exception submitted, Arif Rachman asked the panel of judges to reject the indictment of the Public Prosecutor (JPU) in the obstruction of justice case. Then, request that it be released.

"Declaring that the indictment of the public prosecutor is null and void or at least unacceptable," said legal advisor Arif Rachman Arifin in the trial.

The reason for the request was because the indictment read out by the prosecutor in the previous trial was deemed not careful, unclear, and incomplete.

Then, the legal advisor also asked the panel of judges to accept and grant Arif Rachman's objection note. Thus, this trial was stopped or not included in the examination stage. "Free Defendant Arif Rachman Arifin from all charges by the Public Prosecutor," said the legal advisor.

"Resulting the defendant Arif Rachman Arifin in his dignity," he continued.

Arif Rachman was charged with obstruction of justice behind the investigation into the case of the death of Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J.

One of the roles is breaking or destroying a laptop containing CCTV footage around the scene.

Arif Rachman was charged with Article 49 in conjunction with Article 33 subsidiary Article 48 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 32 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law Number 19 of 2016 and/or Article 233 of the Criminal Code, subsidiary to Article 221 paragraph (1) to 2 in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code.
