Rehabilitation was delivered directly by the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Sufmi Ahmad Dasco, at the Presidential Palace, Tuesday (25/11).
Soesilo expressed his gratitude for the president’s rehabilitation to his client.
“I express my highest gratitude and appreciation to President Prabowo, as well as Bang Dasco, Bang Teddy and the Minister of State Secretary for providing rehabilitation to my client. This means that there has been a return to the rights of ordinary humans, as free human beings because there were errors in the process, according to the law,” said Soesilo to journalists, responding to Ira’s rehabilitation.
According to Soesilo, rehabilitation is the end of every court decision process.By providing rehabilitation, the case faced by the defendant is considered resolved.
“So Mrs. Ira and her friends are back to normal,” he said.
He explained that rehabilitation does not only apply to acquittal or acquittal decisions or sentences.
“No. In a criminal decision, for example acquittal or acquittal, the end is to restore rights and dignity. Now this is directly the president’s prerogative, to immediately provide rehabilitation,” he said.
Soesilo said he would go straight to the KPK office tonight to process his client’s release after receiving rehabilitation from President Prabowo Subianto.
“I’m trying to go to the KPK to ask whether the KPK has received the president’s letter of rehabilitation. If so, we want to immediately process my client to be released tonight,” he said.
The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) has not yet provided an official statement regarding President Prabowo’s provision of rehabilitation to the three defendants.
Previously, the panel of judges at the Jakarta Corruption Court sentenced former President Director of PT ASPD Ira Puspadewi to 4 years and 6 months in prison and a fine of Rp. 500 million, subsidiary to 3 months in prison.
Meanwhile, the Commercial and Services Director of PT ASDP Muhammad Yusuf Hadi and the Director of Planning and Development of PT ASDP Harry Muhammad Adhi Caksono were each sentenced to 4 years in prison and a fine of IDR 250 million, subsidiary to 3 months in prison.
According to the judge, the defendants have been proven to have committed criminal acts of corruption which caused state financial losses of up to IDR 1.25 trillion in KSU and the acquisition of PT JN by PT ASDP in 2019-2022.
Case number: 68/Pid.Sus-TPK/PN.Jkt.Pst was examined and tried by the chairman of the Sunoto panel with member judges Nur Sari Baktiana and Mardiantos.
The decision was not unanimous, aka it was colored by differences of opinion or Sunoto’s dissenting opinion.
According to him, Ira et al should be acquitted (ontslag van alle recht vervolging) because there was no criminal act of corruption in the KSU case and the acquisition of PT JN by PT ASDP.
He views that it is more appropriate to resolve the case in a civil manner because the actions of Ira et al in acquiring PT JN are protected by BJR principles.
Rehabilitation for defendants is regulated in Article 1 Number 23 of the Criminal Procedure Code:
The article’s regulation reads:
Rehabilitation is the right of a person to receive restoration only in terms of his abilities, position and honor and dignity given at the level of investigation, prosecution or trial because he was arrested, detained, prosecuted or tried without reasons based on law or because of a mistake regarding the person or the law applied in the manner regulated in this law.
Then, Article 97 paragraph (1) of the old KUHAP regulates rehabilitation for defendants.
The article’s regulation reads:
A person has the right to receive rehabilitation if the court decides to be acquitted or dismissed from all legal demands whose decision has permanent legal force
