JAKARTA - The panel of judges at the DKI Jakarta High Court (PT) said that there was no fact that there was an attempt by Ferdy Sambo to clarify Yosus alias Brigadier J regarding the alleged sexual harassment of Putri Candrawathi. In fact, the former Head of the National Police Propam Division immediately ordered Richard Total to shoot. "What became the attention of the high panel of judges was that during the trial examination there were no facts of any attempt by the defendant Ferdy Sambo to clarify the victim Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat about what really happened," said the judge of the DKI Jakarta High Court, Wednesday, April 12. Meanwhile, Brigadier J is said to have harassed Putri Candrawathi while at the Magelang house, on July 7. In addition, in the context of the incident, Brigadier J was also said to have shown an attitude that seemed to have happened nothing. Because, he still had time to speak with Putri Candrawathi after the alleged harassment incident occurred. "Nofriansyah Korban Yosyah Hutabarat even though he was accused of sexual harassment, would still seem comfortable to be in the defendant's environment and witnesses," he said. "It can be seen that the victim is still at his residence in Magelang, at the time after the incident still meeting and speaking with witness Putri Candrawathi between 10-15 minutes in the witness's room of Putri Candrawathi as stated by Ricky Rizal Wibowo," continued the judge. In fact, at the moments of the shooting occurred, Brigadier J showed an attitude of ignorance. He even asked why Ferdy Sambo called him with full emotions. Even before the shooting, the victim did not know what happened, especially when he shouted 'what was there, sir?'," said the judge. Previously reported, the DKI Jakarta High Court decided to reject the appeal filed by Ferdy Sambo in the alleged murder case against Yosua alias Brigadir. Thus, the death verdict given at the first level court was confirmed.

Then, in its decision, the panel of judges ordered that Ferdy Sambo remain detained at the Police Mobile Brigade Headquarters, Kelapa Dua, Depok. "Strengthen the decision of the South Jakarta District Court number 796/PID.B/2022/Pn.Jaksel dated February 13, which was requested for an appeal," said Chief Justice Singgih Budi Prakoso.
