Vice President Affirms The Government Does Not Take A Stand On Cassation Decisions To Light Ferdy Sambo's Sentence Cs

JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin emphasized that the government will not take a stand regarding the decision of the Supreme Court (MA) regarding the appeal of the four defendants for premeditated murder against Brigadier J.

According to him, the government cannot intervene in judicial institutions so it does not take a stand on the cassation decisions of Ferdy Sambo, Putri Chandrawati, Ricky Rizal Wibowo and Strong Ma'ruf.

"I think this is a problem with the judiciary, the regional issue is jurisdictional, therefore the government will certainly not take a stand on these decisions," said the Vice President on the sidelines of activities in East Java, Thursday, August 10, which was confiscated by Antara.

The vice president said the government should not intervene in court decisions, high courts or cassations.

He invited parties who were not satisfied with the Supreme Court's decision to take the available legal mechanism.
