JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The South Jakarta District Court is expected to hold the first pre-trial lawsuit filed by non-active Deputy Chief of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Bambang Widjojanto against the National Police.
Bambang filed a pre-trial lawsuit to challenge the Police’s decision on naming him as a graft suspect.
Previously, the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Division (Bareskrim Polri) named Bambang as a suspect in a case related to the post-election dispute of Kotawaringin Barat regency. He was even detained for two days before being released on Jan. 25, 2015.
The Police charged Bambang with Article 242 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) juncto Article 55 paragraph 1 poin 1 of the KUHP juncto Article 55 paragraph 2 of the KUHP juncto Article 56 of the KUHP. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
