3 Points of Fredrich`s Suspect Determination Considered Invalid  

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Fredrich Yunadi's lawyer, Sapriyanto Refa, said that three of the four points on Fredrich’s suspect status determination were considered invalid, which is why his team sued the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for Fredrich’s suspect status determination.

According to Refa, the suspect status determination has been regulated in the Supreme Court (MK) Verdict No. 21/PUU-XII/2014 and Article 112 of the Criminal-Law Procedural Code (KUHAP).

“Of all the four points, we found three illegitimate things, namely the suspect status determination, the search and seizure, also the arrest and detention," said Refa in the South Jakarta District Court on Monday, February 5.

Refa stated that Fredrich’s suspect status determination, the arrest and detention by the KPK, were not in accordance with the provision of Article 112 KUHAP.

Refa also questioned the evidence seizure from Fredrich's office. He said that the KPK seized evidences that had nothing to do with the e-KTP case.

Refa is optimistic that the pre-trial lawsuit filed by his client will not fail even though Fredrich Yunadi will undergo the principal case trial on February 8 at the Corruption Court in Jakarta. “In this pretrial, the judges must decide the case within seven days, if they can do it in three days, then why not?” said Refa.
