JAKARTA - The Election Organizers Honorary Council (DKPP) will hold a trial for the decision on the alleged violation of the code of ethics by the Chairman of the Indonesian KPU Hasyim Asy'ari on Wednesday, July 3.

This has been confirmed by the Chairman of the DKPP RI Heddy Lugito.

"That's right," said Heddy, as reported by Antara, Sunday, June 30.

Previously, the trial of the alleged immoral act took place behind closed doors. Meanwhile, the process of reading the verdict will be held openly to the public.

Hasyim Asy'ari was reported to the Indonesian DKPP on Thursday 18 April by the Legal Aid Consultation Institute and the Choice of Completion of the Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia (LKBH-PPS FH UI) and the Legal Aid Institute of the Indonesian Women's Association for Justice (LBH APIK).

The attorney for victim Maria Diinita Prosperianti explained that Hasyim's actions as a defendant were included in the violation of the code of ethics based on DKPP Regulation Number 2 of 2017 concerning the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for General Election Organizers.

Maria said that in reporting to the DKPP RI there was a number of evidences showing violations of the code of ethics by Hasyim.

He said Hasyim was concerned with his personal interests to satisfy his sexual desires.

"There have been several dozen pieces of evidence, yes, such as screenshots (screenshots) of conversations, photos, and videos, as well as evidence. I have explained earlier, this evidence can show that it is truly structured, systematic, and active, and here the accused also provides information manipulation and also spreads confidential information to show his power," he said.

He also said that Hasyim's actions against the victim showed repeated actions. Therefore, he hopes that the Indonesian DKPP will not only give a stern warning to the case involving his client.

"There is a similar case, but maybe a little different from what happened to the Golden Woman. This has also been given the last tough warning sanction. So, after a decision from the DKPP, our target should indeed be the sanction given no longer warning, but is dismissal," he said.
