JAKARTA - Hotman Paris Hutapea responded to the development of the alleged Domestic Violence (KDRT) case Ferry Irawan against his client, Venna Melinda.

The Batak-blooded lawyer was surprised to see Ferry Irawan's family still holding a press conference and stating to the public that Ferry Irawan was innocent.

With the determination of the suspect and the detention of Ferry Irawan in January, Hotman assessed that the police already have strong evidence. Moreover, the case has been submitted to the prosecutor's office and is ready for trial in the near future.

"The evidence has been detained for almost 2 months, it has been quite heavy for 2 months for domestic violence. Actually Venna has won," said Hotman Paris to the media crew in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta on Thursday, March 24, 2023.

Meanwhile, the first trial of the alleged domestic violence case was originally held on Monday, March 27, at the Kediri City District Court (PN). Hotman admitted that he had contacted his client to explain the matter of preparing for the trial later.

"Well, yesterday he called, one day before he left for Surabaya, he will meet me later. The point is I told him, just telling him about what happened in Kediri," he said.

Furthermore, Hotman emphasized that the case faced by his client was only in the alleged case of domestic violence that occurred in Kediri. With other accusations, such as the issue of exposing disgrace or videos of Venna Melinda and Ferry Irawan does not have any meaning.

"The incident in Jakarta will be like this later, we will open the video, I said it has nothing to do with it. Even if there is no other video for other cases, just report it. If they dare, but later brought to trial, they will refuse. So the case of domestic violence in Kediri actually feels calm, "concluded Hotman Paris.
