JAKARTA - Lawyer who is also the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP for Legal Reform Ronny B. Talapessy claimed that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) would hand over the case files of PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto to the Corruption Court on Thursday, March 6. There was a short message they received regarding the news.
Hasto has been detained at the KPK detention center since February 20. The effort was made because he was caught in a bribery case in the interim replacement management (PAW) of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives and the obstruction of the investigation that caused former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku to run away.
"This afternoon we received WA from the KPK information section which said that tomorrow, Thursday there will be phase two for our client, Mas Hasto Kristianto," Ronny told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 5.
This information made Ronny then go to the anti-corruption commission to file a protest by letter. Moreover, they have just filed an expert witness to alleviate Hasto's actions.
However, not until the expert witness was summoned, Hasto's case would be tried. "Well, because we got the information, we filed a strong protest letter against the arbitrariness of the KPK," he said.
"We consider that the KPK has no commitment to the Criminal Procedure Code or the KPK law itself, namely respect for fair law enforcement and respect for human rights," continued Ronny.
Ronny confirmed that the letter had been submitted. "Of course we really object to the behavior that has been carried out by the KPK," he said.
