TANJUNGPINANG - Former Acting (Pj) Tanjungpinang Mayor Hasan was detained after undergoing an examination for about ten hours at the Bintan Police Headquarters, Riau Islands (Kepri).

"That's right. Our client tonight was detained or staying in the Bintan Police detention cell," said Hendie Devitra, Hasan's lawyer, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 7.

Hendie regretted the decision of investigators from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Resort Police to detain Hasan for subjective reasons, such as worrying about running away and eliminating evidence.

In fact, according to Hendie, his client has been very cooperative in fulfilling the summons and providing information to police investigators.

"Moreover, our client's capacity as a state civil servant (ASN), so I don't think there will be any attempt to escape or lose evidence," he said.

Lawyers will make legal defense efforts against Hasan, one of which is submitting a request for a suspension of detention to the Bintan Police.

"We as legal advisers certainly have the right to take these legal remedies," he also said.

Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations of the Bintan Police, Iptu Alson Alamsu, did not respond when asked about Hasan's detention.

"Tomorrow (Saturday), the Bintan Police Chief will release it," he said briefly.

Hasan has been questioned as a suspect on suspicion of falsifying land certificates in the Bintan Police Corruption room since Friday morning.

The Head of the Communication and Information Service (Diskominfo) of the Riau Islands Provincial Government, accompanied by Attorney Hendi Devitra, arrived at the Bintan Police Headquarters at around 10.40 WIB.

"As a good citizen, I will obey and obey the applicable legal process," Hasan said.

On April 19, 2024, the Bintan Police named Hasan as a suspect in the alleged forgery of land certificates belonging to PT Expipindo in Sei Lekop Village, East Bintan District, Bintan Regency.

Apart from Hasan, the police also named two other suspects, namely Ridwan and Budiman.

Unlike Hasan, the two suspects Ridwan and Budiman have already been detained by the Bintan Police Criminal Investigation Unit investigators.

Even the case files of the two suspects have been transferred by the Police to the Bintan District Attorney's Office, but the prosecutor recently returned them with incomplete reasons.
