Former Head of Propam Police Division Ferdy Sambo (Rizky A-VOI)

The defendant Ferdy Sambo's camp attacked the public prosecutor (JPU) by stating that the argument contained in the replica was only imaginative. In fact, it is considered to be able to mislead the judicial process.

The 'attack' was conveyed by legal counsel Ferdy Sambo when responding to the prosecutor's replica which was read out at the previous trial.

"It is very unfortunate that the public prosecutor's replica continues to be trapped in an imaginative framework, which could also lead to misleading the judicial, public, and keeping this trial away from an implicit and objective spirit," said Ferdy Sambo's legal adviser at the trial at the South Jakarta District Court (PN Jaksel), Tuesday, January 31.

In fact, Ferdy Sambo's camp accused in compiling a replica, the prosecutor was in a state of frustration. This is because all charges have been refuted in the trial.

"And unfortunately again, at the same time there is no evidence and sufficient argument to cover it up. The only thing left is to fulfill the requirements for a response to the plea," he said.

"Making the argument not based, plunging down the defendant Ferdy Sambo, and the public prosecutor seemed to have attacked the position of advocate profession," continued legal counsel Ferdy Sambo.

At the previous trial, the prosecutor asked the panel of judges to reject the memorandum of defense or plea submitted by Ferdy Sambo. In addition, the former Head of the Propam Division was also asked to be sentenced to life imprisonment in accordance with the demands.

"The general public has asked the panel of judges who examined and tried this case to reject all pleas from the legal advisory team of the defendant Ferdy Sambo," said the prosecutor.

The reason the prosecutor did not accept the plea read by the Ferdy Sambo camp was because it was considered not to have a solid juridical basis in the alleged murder case of Yosua alias Brigadier J.

"The pleidoi description does not have a solid juridical basis that can be used to abort the public prosecutor's letter of demand," he said.

In the alleged murder case of Yosua alias Brigadier J, Ferdy Sambo is referred to as the mastermind of the crime. He is also considered to have participated in shooting the back of the former aide's head.

Kemudian, eks Kadiv Propam itu juga sengaja memerintahkan Richard totaling alias Bharada E untuk mengamankan senjata api (senpi) Brigadir J. Tujuannya, agar proses eksekusi berjalan mudah.

The execution process for Brigadier J was carried out at the Ferdy Sambo official residence in the Police complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta on July 8, 2022.

Ferdy Sambo's actions are considered by the prosecutor to have fulfilled the elements of Article 340 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to (1) of the Criminal Code. Ferdy Sambo was also sentenced to life imprisonment.
