REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Chairman of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Agus Rahardjo hoped judge Cepi Iskandar will reject pretrial suit filed by Setya Novanto (Setnov) as suspect in e-ID (KTP-el) card procurement.
He said the decision will determine KPK position in dealing with corruption cases that estimated to cost the state loss up to Rp2.3 trillion.
"May God enlightened his heart, may his decision will be the best for the nation," he said at KPK Office in Jakarta, Thursday.
Cepi who is sole judge in the pretrial will read his decision in South Jakarta District Court on Friday.
Based on KPK's conclusions in the pretrial hearing since Wednesday (September 20) to Thursday (September 28), KPK believes that the judge will reject or at least declare the pretrial is unacceptable. "That if the legal facts, evidence and aspects of justice are accepted by the judge," Agus said.
Here are six crucial points of conclusions conveyed by KPK on Thursday.
1. KPK assessed Setnov could not prove his arguments even though the judge has provided an opportunity to present the evidence.
2. The Supreme Court (MA) has provided guidance through its regulation No.4 Year 2016 which essentially confirms that the examination of the validity of the suspect's determination only assesses the formal aspect.
3. KPK has submitted the evidence in court although it is unfortunate that the judge refused the evidence of recordings of conversations to be played. In fact, since the process of e-ID card investigation, KPK has requested informations on 62 people, 457 documents, electronic evidence and experts. Then the process of calculating the state financial losses has also been done.
4. Setnov has been examined prior to naming him as suspect.
5. Investigators who are handling the case is a legitimate investigators. Moreover, the Constitutional Court has affirmed the authority of the KPK to appoint its own investigators.
6. Preventive measures of going abroad for the suspect also has been conducted legally in accordance with Article 12 paragraph (1) letter b Law No. 30 of 2002.
