The legal team of Pegi Setiawan suspects that it was intentional from the West Java Regional Police to postpone the pretrial hearing submitted by his client so that the file currently being examined by the West Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) is waiting to be declared complete or P21.

Thus, the pretrial lawsuit filed by Pegi Setiawan can be dropped.

"I gave a warning that if the pretrial case turns out to be dead and P21, we suspect that this case is getting odder," said the legal team of Pegi Setiawan, Insank Nasaruddin in Bandung, West Java (West Java), Monday, June 24, which was confiscated by Antara.

Insank admitted that he was disappointed with the pretrial hearing which was originally held today at the Bandung District Court (PN) and postponed for the next week. The trial was postponed because the respondent, namely the West Java Police, was unable to attend.

He said that today 22 attorneys have prepared to assist in the pretrial trial process.

Insank also asked the respondent to come and undergo this trial so that the public can objectively oversee the case without any irregularities.

"Do you want to use classical methods so that this pretrial will fall, go to the main court of the case, what is this? Don't make the public odd again," he said.

Furthermore, he considered that the determination of the suspect to Pegi Setiawan was invalid because the evidence held by the West Java Regional Police was very weak and no evidence was found to point to his client.

"This pretrial is important for the lives of human children, for the lives of suspects who are detained today in the West Java Police detention center who never know anything," he said.

Previously, the first pretrial hearing proposed by Pegi Setiawan regarding the determination of a suspect by the West Java Regional Police was postponed until July 1 because the respondent was not present.

"I don't know the reason for not attending. That's why it was postponed for one week, if on July 1, the respondent was not present, the trial case continued," said Public Relations of the Bandung District Court Dalyusra.

He added that his party would again summon the respondent for the second time, and if he was not present, the trial would continue without the presence of the respondent.
