JAKARTA - Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Saldi Isra, said that the constitutional panel of judges at the Hakim Consultative Meeting (RPH) took a stand to report former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Denny Indrayana to the advocate organization. "We at the Hakim Consultative Meeting have taken a joint stance that we, the Constitutional Court, so that this can be a lesson for all of us, will report Denny Indrayana to the advocate organization Denny Indrayana is in," Saldi Isra said at a press conference after reading the verdict at the Constitutional Court Building, Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday, June 15. Saldi Isra wants advocate organizations to assess whether what Denny Indrayana did violated ethics as an advocate or not. Because Denny Indrayana lives in Australia, Saldi Isra also revealed that his party is still studying how to write to him. "This is still being studied how to serialize it related to this. But later let the advocate organization judge this attitude," said Saldi Isra. Regarding whether or not to report Denny Indrayana to law enforcement officials, Saldi Isra said that the Constitutional Court would not report him to the police. "We at the Constitutional Court chose not to go that far," he said. Moreover, the Constitutional Court realized that there had been a police report against Denny. The Constitutional Court has entrusted the legal process in the case of leaking the verdict to the police. Saldi stated that the Constitutional Court is ready to assist the police if needed in investigating reports against Denny, including attending the process of requesting information. "If at any time we are needed, we will cooperate with it," said Saldi. Saldi encouraged the police to explore this case independently. "We hope (in the police) it will be handled according to objective law enforcement principles," said Saldi. Previously, there had been an issue regarding the leak of the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the electoral system. The issue surfaced due to a tweet by former deputy minister of law and human rights (wamenkumham) Denny Indrayana who claimed to have received information about the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the legislative election system that would return to a closed proportional system or party voting.

On this suspicion, Spokesperson for the Constitutional Court Fajar Laksono has also submitted a rebuttal.
