REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Fredrich Yunadi's lawyer, Sapriyanto Refa has filed pretrial motion against his client's determination as suspect in alleged obstruction case by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Thursday (January 18). Sapriyanto said there were three things that underlied this pretrial motion.
First, he said the determination of suspect against Fredrich was considered invalid. Sapriyanto assessed the evidences that used by KPK was not enough. According to Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), to determine a person as suspect is required two supporting evidences. "We consider that two preliminary evidences are not enough and unfulfilled in appointing Fredrich as a suspect," said Sapriyanto on Thursday (January 18).
Second, the seizure by KPK at Fredrich's law office was also not valid. apriyanto said, the anti-graft institution has seized a number of things, such as documents at his client office and the action was not completed by court decision. "The seizure of evidences did not refer to criminal act that alleged to Fredrich," Sapriyanto added.
He said KPK seized the evidences that have no correlation with Article that alleged to Fredrich. For example, the documents that related to other cases. Third, Fredrich was arrested and detained with invalid reason. Sapriyanto explained on January 12, his client was summoned by KPK to examine as a suspect.
However, Fredrich missed the summon because his lawyer has to asked first about accused violations. Before 24 hours has elapsed, KPK already arrested Fredrich. "So we see the arrest is not in accordance with KUHAP," Sapriyanto added.
KPK has determined Fredrich as suspect for obstructing investigation of Setya Novanto when the Golkar party chairman was a suspect in e-ID card graft case. Fredrich along with Bimanesh Sutarjo, an internist at Medika Permata Hijau hospital, allegedly conspired to manipulate Setya's medical record.
KPK believed they have made arrangement for Setya to be hospitalized following a minor car accident in November 2017, so he could miss KPK summon.
