JAKARTA Hotman Paris, the attorney for Vina Cirebon's family, admitted that he had been asked by the victim's father, Eky, Rudiana to become his legal team. However, the Paris Hotman team did not respond to this.

In front of reporters, Hotman Paris revealed that he had been contacted by someone who claimed to be Rudiana's envoy to become a lawyer. However, said Hotman, in the conversation there was a message that Rudiana wanted.

"But suddenly about 4 days ago, there was an individual, from a police officer who admitted that the envoy from Pak Rudiana wanted to appoint us as his attorney. But there is a covert message in which Pak Rudiana believes that the culprit is Pegi," Hotman Paris told reporters, Tuesday, June 11.

Therefore, the 911 Hotman team refused to become the attorney for Eky or Rudiana's father. Because according to him, there are questions in the case.

"Even though he was the one who followed this case from the start. He was reported to him this incident by witnesses. And also why has he been silent all this time, why is it only now. So it seems as if the important target is Pegi being punished, the case is finished, the people are satisfied. So it's impossible," he said.

Hotman Paris also asked the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to form a fact-finding team so that the murder cases of Vina Cirebon and Muhammad Rizky alias Eky were fully revealed.

"To Mr. President Jokowi to form a fact-finding team from universities that are criminal law experts to investigate from 2016 until now. That's the first," said Hotman.
