JAKARTA - The sole judge at the South Jakarta District Court (PN), Djuyamto, stated that the request for a pretrial lawsuit by the Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, had run away or it was unclear. This is because the application was filed in one lawsuit

Hasto Kristiyanto's camp is known to have filed a lawsuit related to the validity of the process of determining the suspect in the case of alleged bribery for interim replacement (PAW) and obstruction of the investigation.

"The judge is of the opinion that the petitioner's petition should be submitted in two pretrial applications, not in one application. Considering the petitioner's application, which combines the valid or not of the investigation order or whether or not the determination of the suspect in one application must be declared ineligible. meet the formal requirements for the judicial application," said Djuyamto in a trial at the South Jakarta District Court (Jaksel), Thursday, February 13, confiscated by Antara.

The raid on the process of proving two alleged criminal acts will use different evidence. Thus, this will be a consideration regarding the validity of the initial evidence.

"The consequences do not rule out the possibility that the evidence used in each criminal act is different, and of course it has the potential to influence the judge's assessment of the validity of the initial evidence used to determine the suspects in the two alleged criminal acts," said Djuyamto.

In addition, Djuyamto also believes that the appointment of the position of KPK leadership for the 2024-2029 period included in the argument of objections from the applicant has no relevance to the pretrial position.

It is irrelevant because the KPK is a law enforcement institution and is not a political organization.

"There is no relevance between the procession of appointment of the defendant's leadership and the scope of pretrial that the applicant wants to submit," he said.

"The leadership of the respondent's institution (KPK) should not be an excuse, once again the respondent is not a political organization that uses political analysis in carrying out the main duties of the applicant as a law enforcement institution," continued Djuyamto.

Previously, the judge decided to file a pretrial lawsuit filed by the Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, could not be accepted.

"Declare that the applicant's pretrial application cannot be accepted," said Judge Djuyamto.

In their decision, the judge assessed that the exception submitted by the respondent or the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was granted. Meanwhile, the applicant or Hasto's camp is considered unclear.

"Declaring the petition for pretrial for applicants is fog or unclear," said Djuyamto.

With this decision, the determination of the suspect carried out by KPK investigators to Hasto Kristiyanto remains valid. Then, the process of investigating the case can be continued.
