JAKARTA - Special Crime Investigators at the East Nusa Tenggara High Prosecutor's Office have detained lawyer Antonius Ali. He was arrested because he was suspected of fabricating the testimony of two witnesses in the case of the transfer of land assets by the West Manggarai Regency Government in Labuan Bajo.
"Investigators have detained the suspect. The detention is being carried out at the Penfui Kupang Penitentiary Detention Center," said Head of the Legal Information and Public Relations Section of the East Nusa Tenggara High Court, Abdul Hakim, reported by Antara, in Kupang, Thursday, February 18.
He said that according to the results of reconstruction on Thursday, February 18 at the house of suspect Antonius Ali, it was revealed that two witnesses, namely Zulkarnaen Djudje and Frans Harun were directed by the suspect Antonius Ali before attending the pretrial trial filed by the former West Manggarai Regent, Agustinus Ch Dulla two weeks ago. .
"According to the reconstruction, it was revealed that the testimonies of the two witnesses were directed. The testimony presented by the two suspects at the trial was directed by the suspect Antonius Ali," said Abdul Hakim.
According to him, the suspect Antonius Ali was detained by investigators for 20 days because he was deemed to have obstructed the investigation process.
Antonius Ali was named a suspect and detained by investigators from the NTT Prosecutor's Office regarding the false testimony made by suspects Zulkarnaen Djudjue and Frans Harun in the case of transferring land assets of the West Manggarai Regency Government with an area of 30 hectares with a state loss of IDR 1.3 trillion.
Investigators, he said, had previously arrested and detained Zulkarnaen Djudjue and Frans Harun on Thursday (11/2) because the information given to investigators and the testimony in the pretrial hearing were different.
He said the two suspects told investigators that the land belonged to the West Manggarai Regency Government, but in the pretrial hearing that the suspect Agustinus Ch Dulla admitted that the land belonged to individuals.
"This testimony was apparently directed by the suspect Antonius Ali before going to trial in court," said Abdul Hakim.
