The defendants Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawathi's camp assessed that the public prosecutor's conclusion (JPU) regarding infidelity was merely assumptions and baseless accusations.

Prosecutors in reading the charges had mentioned the absence of allegations of sexual harassment experienced by Putri Candrawati in Magelang. What happened was Yosua's affair with Ferdy Sambo's wife.

"We deeply regret the prosecutor's demands submitted today. The assumptions raised in the indictment are exacerbated by the baseless accusations against the defendant," said Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawati's legal adviser, Arman Hanis in his statement, Monday, January 16.

The prosecutor's conclusion was also considered contrary to the evidence and testimony of witnesses during the trial. Because, according to Arman, none of the witnesses mentioned the element of infidelity.

In fact, this conclusion is said to only refer to the results of the graph test. In fact, the results of the honesty test cannot be used as evidence.

"It is based only on the results of the Polygraph which is legally flawed and contradicts 2 pieces of evidence," he said.

Then, this conclusion is also said to be the best compared to the testimony of Forensic Psychologists presented by the prosecutor. Where, in the expert trial, Putri Candrawathi said there was a possibility of harassment.

"So, how is it possible that the prosecutor suddenly makes his own conclusions based only on a flawed polygraph? This is truly a tragedy in logic and law enforcement," said Arman.

Previously, the Public Prosecutor concluded that there was no element of rape or sexual harassment against Putri Candrawathi behind the alleged murder case of Yosua alias Brigadier J. Instead, the incident that occurred in Magelang was an affair.

"That was true on Thursday, July 7, 2022, around the afternoon at FS's house in Magelang, there was an affair between victim J and witness PC," said the prosecutor.

The absence of elements of rape or sexual harassment was because the prosecutor did not agree with the expert statement from the Indonesian Forensic Psychology Association (Apsifor), Reni Kusuma Wardhani in court some time ago. At that time, the expert stated that there had been incidents of sexual harassment or violence.

The prosecutor actually trusted the statement from a polygraph expert, Aji Febrianto Ar-Rosyid, who said that there was an incident in Magelang, namely Putri Candrawati's affair with Brigadier J.

In addition, the conclusion is also based on the prosecutor's belief with the statement of Sesro Provos Divpropam Polri Kombes Sugeng Putut Wicaksono, household assistant, Susi, and the statements of the defendant Bharada Richard totaling.

The witnesses in the trial were never aware of any rape or sexual harassment by Brigadier J against Putri Candrawathi.

"There was no harassment on July 7, 2022 in Magelang, but an affair between witness Putri Candrawathi and victim Yosua Hutabarat," said the prosecutor.
