JAKARTA Become a witness in the case of violence committed by Mario Dandy against David, witnesses N and R (a married couple) submitted a request for protection to the Victim Witness Protection Agency (LPSK).

N and R's attorney, Muannas Alaidid, said that his client had submitted to the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) because he felt threatened.

N and R are RZ's parents, David Ozora's colleagues. Muannas assessed that this couple was a key witness in the case of assaulting the son of the former Directorate General of Taxes (DJP), Mario Dandy Satrio Cs, to David Ozora.

"On March 3, we agreed to go to LPSK, yesterday, N and her husband had a direct interview with LPSK," said Muannas when confirmed, Thursday, March 9.

Muannas said the two clients felt threatened. Because, according to them, the person being faced is a big official.

"The most worried is because what we are facing is tax officials. People who have money and power. So I think people who have money and power can do anything. Intervention and so on. Just worry about R," he said.

In addition, Muannas also said that his goal was to propose LPSK to help relieve trauma to witness N. Because he still often cried, if he told about the incident of severe abuse.

"Because N, it's traumatic. When it happened, it was because he picked up the victim and then saw the victim's condition at the location. So, he still often cried when he recounted the incident," he said.

On that occasion, Muannas said that if the submission made by his client would be decided by the LPSK on Monday.

"LPSK is only Monday that he will decide. On the 3rd yesterday we submitted it. Then on the 8th yesterday we met, this Monday it will be decided," he concluded.
