The Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the North Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office rejected the memorandum of defense (pledoi) of the defendant AKBP Achiruddin Hasibuan in the case of neglecting his son, Aditiya Hasibuan, assaulted the victim Ken Admiral.

"Yes, it was read out at the trial with a replica agenda or pledoi response which essentially refused, and remained on the criminal charges that had been read out on September 18, 2023," said Public Prosecutor Randi H. Tambunan in Medan as reported by ANTARA, Friday, September 22.

The prosecutor assessed that among the arguments described by the defendant's legal advisory team were speculative and tendentious to the overall assessment of facts in the juridical description as if there were no mistakes and accountability.

Therefore, regarding every fact and juridical analysis, as contained in the criminal charges, the prosecutor remains in this case that all actions against the defendant have met the offense formula and the defendant has an error.

The panel of judges chaired by Oloan Silalahi will continue the trial with a duplicate agenda scheduled for September 25, 2023.

Previously, lawyer AKBP Achiruddin Hasibuan, Joko Pranata Situmeang in the memorandum of defense stated that the defendant was not legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing as the primary and subsidiary charges or the second indictment, or released from all lawsuits.

Achiruddin was charged with 21 months in prison in the case of allowing his son, Aditiya Hasibuan, to abuse the victim Ken Admiral.

The prosecutor assessed that the defendant violated Article 351 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 56 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code, which was to provide an opportunity for Aditiya Hasibuan to abuse him.
