Attorney Pegi Setiawan Toni RM (ANTARA)

The team of lawyers for Pegi Setiawan assessed that the answer submitted by the West Java Regional Police (Jabar) in the follow-up pretrial hearing at the Class IA Bandung District Court, Tuesday, July 2, 2024i, should be answered in accordance with the context needed.

The pretrial trial determined the status of suspect Pegi Setiawan in the murder case of Vina and Eky in Cirebon. Lawyers with the family of Pegi Setiawan have been present since 07.00 WIB, while the West Java Regional Police's legal team was seen arriving at 08.59 WIB.

"Anyway, we have five things in question. We hope that all of this will be answered by the West Java Regional Police," said Toni RM, one of Pegi's team of lawyers, ahead of the trial at the Bandung Class IA District Court.

One of the main issues is related to the confiscation of a motorbike carried out by the West Java Regional Police during the arrest of Pegi Setiawan. According to Toni, the action should require permission from the chairman of the court, which according to him is not carried out according to the rules.

"Secondly, the determination of the DPO to arrest Pegi alias Perong, not Pegi Setiawan. Pegi Setiawan has not been a suspect when this case was handled in 2006," he added.

Toni also highlighted that the arrest of Pegi by the West Java Police should follow the adequate investigation process, which he considered not to have been carried out properly by the police.

"All evidence must be collected through the examination process, not directly arrested. This is a legal defect," he said.

The trial to respond to Pegi Setiawan's lawsuit against the West Java Regional Police began according to the schedule at 09.00 WIB and continued until 10.25 WIB.
