In fact, it was also considered a form of cooperation between the defendants. The statement was made when the prosecutor read out the file of the defendant's demands, Strong Ma'ruf, during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday, January 16. "That to see whether there is cooperation that is realized between perpetrators can also be seen from the events after the crime was committed, one of which can be seen the fact that giving or giving gifts to the participants as their wages," said the prosecutor. According to the prosecutor, although Strong Ma'ruf had not received an official envelope containing Rp500 million, he received an iPhone 13 Pro max. So, when associated with a premeditated murder case, it is very possible that the gift is a reciprocal element. Where, Strong has supported the scenario made by the former Head of the Propam Division. "Based on the legal facts at the trial, it was revealed that the defendant Strong Ma'ruf did not reject the gift given by Ferdy Sambo, namely one iPhone 13 pro max and the defendant Strong Ma'ruf also promised Ferdy Sambo Rp500 million," he said. "So it can be ascertained that the Rp500 million is for the defendant in the premeditated murder of the victim that was designed by Ferdy Sambo's brother," continued the prosecutor. Strong Ma'ruf was demanded to be sentenced to 8 years in prison in the alleged murder case of Yosua Brigadier J. He is said to have played a role in closing access out of the scene by closing the doors and windows of Ferdy Sambo's official residence at the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta. "Then it was true that the defendant, Strong Ma'ruf, in accordance with the discussion with witness Ferdy Sambo regarding his role, immediately closed the front door to reduce the sound and closed the exit access if victim Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat fled," said the prosecutor. "Then, the defendant Strong Ma'ruf went up to the second floor to close the door of the balcony when the sun was still bright and not yet dark. The picture of the CCTV was attached to the letter of demand," continued the prosecutor.

Because, Strong Ma'ruf was given the task of preparing the daily needs of Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawati who attended Magelang. The role of the defendant, Strong Ma'ruf, was concluded to have targeted witness statements during the trial.
