JAKARTA - The wedding ceremony of Atta Halilintar and Aurel Hermansyah at the Raffles Hotel some time ago will be used as material in Rizieq Shihab's continued trial. The event was considered to have invited the crowd.

That was the statement by Rizieq Shihab's lawyer, Aziz Yanuar, to the media crew at the East Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, April 6. "God willing, it (Atta and Aurel's marriage) will be input from the legal team",

For Aziz, there was an injustice in the crowd case experienced by his client, Rizieq Shihab, who held his daughter's wedding in Petamburan. Moreover, Atta-Aurel's wedding ceremony was also attended by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and the Minister of Defense, Prabowo Subianto.

"This is to open the eyes of the public that there is injustice here", said Aziz.

For information, the panel of judges rejected the exception of crowd cases and violations of health protocols in Petamburan and Megamendung. Thus, the trial of these two cases continued to the agenda of examining witnesses.

So, the trial will resume on Monday, April 12. The plan is that in the trial with the agenda of examining witnesses, the public prosecutor (JPU) will present 11 witnesses in the trial to continue the two cases. Some of the witnesses who will be presented are the former Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief to the Mayor of Central Jakarta.

"(Witnesses to be presented) Heru Novinato (former Head of Central Jakarta Metro Police), Bayu Meghantara (Mayor of Central Jakarta), and Safrin Liputo (Kadishub DKI Jakarta", said the prosecutor.

Meanwhile, the other 8 witnesses did not come from state officials. It is suspected that they were the ones who had banned any event that would create crowds.

"(Other witnesses) Oka setiawan, Jecky M Aveno, Budi cahyono, M Soleh, Rianto Sulistyo, Rusdian, Sabda Kurnianto, and Erikson T.", said the prosecutor.
