JAKARTA - The interim chairman of the KPK, Nawawi Pomolango, responded to accusations by PDIP that the confiscation of a cell phone or cellphone (HP) belonging to the Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, by the KPK violated the rules and ethics. Nawawi then invited Hasto to report the KPK to the Council or take the pretrial route. "There is a council, there is a pre-trial forum," said Nawawi at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 11. Nawawi admitted that he did not know about the staff of the PDIP Secretary General, Hasto Kristiyanto, who reported the KPK investigators to the Supervisory Board regarding the confiscation of cellphones carried out by investigators against Kusnadi as Hasto's staff. However, according to him, it would be better if there were many reports to the council. "I haven't heard of that. The more reports to the Council, the better," he said. Regarding whether there will be another examination of Hasto, Nawawi has not been able to confirm. Because his party is still asking for an explanation regarding the confiscation to the deputy for prosecution of the KPK. "That's what we ask for again, an explanation from the deputy," he said. The latest information, Ronny Talapessy said the PDI-P Secretary General (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto filed a pretrial lawsuit. This lawyer said there was a discrepancy in the confiscation report submitted by investigators on Monday, June 10 yesterday. The Hasto camp did not accept the confiscation of cellphones carried out by investigators. This forced effort occurred when the former member of the DPR RI complied with the investigator's summons as a witness in the Harun Masiku case, which is still at large. "We will file a pretrial because the minutes of the confiscation were wrong on April 24,” said Ronny, who is also a lawyer for Hasto Kristiyanto's staff, Kusnadi, to reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 11. Ronny also said that the official report on the receipt of evidence did not mention that the process was related to Harun Masiku. In addition, the Criminal Code also stated that the confiscation attempt carried out by the anti-corruption commission should be accompanied by a letter of determination from the court in accordance with Article 38 of the Criminal Code.

Moreover, the confiscation was carried out from Hasto's staff who did not attend as witnesses but as the accompanying party. “ If referring to the Criminal Procedure Code, what does that mean, there must be a letter of determination from the court,” he said. “ So there must be a court determination, standard operating procedures must not beat the Criminal Procedure Code, ” continued the advocate who is also a PDIP cadre.
