TARAKAN - The sole judge of the Tarakan District Court, North Kalimantan (Kaltara) Abdul Rahman granted the pretrial for the suspect in the Hasbudi Money Laundering (TPPU) case.

Hasbudi was named a money laundering offense suspect by the North Kalimantan Police Ditreskrimsus in July 2022.

In addition to canceling the suspect's status, the single judge also ordered the Kaltara Police Investigators to return Hasbudi's assets that had been confiscated.

Hasbudi said he was happy with the decision and hoped that the respondent would immediately seek to execute the return of his confiscated assets.

"The judge has decided to cancel my suspect and asked the Kaltara Police to stop the investigation and return my confiscated assets," said Hasbudi, Wednesday, December 4.

"We are very happy with this decision which proves that I am innocent, we are only criminalized," he continued.

In the TPPU case, the North Kalimantan Police Ditreskrimsus confiscated a number of evidences including three vehicles and 12 speedboats, as well as other assets belonging to Hasbudi.

"After this pretrial decision is granted, I will also take further legal action against cases that have been suspected," he said.

According to Hasbudi, the determination of the suspect in the illegal gold mining case by the Bulungan Police was deemed not in accordance with procedures including the arrest of himself on May 4, 2020 at Tarakan's Juwata Airport.

"The investigation conducted by the Bulungan Police against me was without going through the investigation process. It is suspected that there was also engineering, there was an expert examination carried out on May 4, at the same time I was arrested at the airport with the same person, carrying out expert examinations in Jakarta. I will propose further legal action," he said.
