The defendant Haso Christianto underwent a control process in the case of bribery in the interpretive (PAW) member of the Indonesian parliament Harun Masik and the case of the investigation. The State Prosecutor (Prosecutor) from the Commission on Environmental of Corruption (KPK) demanded a sentence of 7 years in prison against him.
Lawyer Haso, McDier Ismail, believed that the demand for 7 years in prison was not clean from criminal acts or crime, but was complete political criminalization.
“I think that things that really need to attract our attention to the fact that this case is not a matter of a pure crime, but this is the way we have repeatedly said, this is a criminalized political case. This is political criminalization, so this can be held accountable with high requirements created by the fact that the article is called obstruction of justice, ”McDier said in a corruption court in the central Jakarta (5/2015).
McDier questioned the evidence used by the prosecutor, especially the detailed call (CDR), which was considered illogical and wounded common sense.
“If they want to be honest, the state prosecutor must also admit that if one thing related to CDR, they say they never want to say that the journey of my mirror from the Western Jakarta to Tana Abanga in just one second.
According to him, there is manipulation of electronic evidence, including the question of the existence of my mirror in PTIK with Nur Hasan, which, as they say, is impossible from unreasonable time on the way to Jakarta at night.
“If we look well what the journey called the journey from Harun Masik with Nur Hassan from Menteng, circling until they say that they are in PTIK in just 30-35 minutes, in the condition of about 20.17 or after the 17s, we can go to Jakarta,” he said.
McDier also emphasized that the evidence of the case cannot be based on assumptions or imagination. Especially when such witnesses as Nur Hassan deny accusations of participation.
“The proof is based on the statements of witnesses not based on imagination or assumptions,” McDier said.
He also emphasized the process of defining Hasto Christianto as a suspect, who, according to him, was strange and nuanced political. Including, when his client was asked to resign from the post of General Secretary of PDIP and not to dismiss Joko Vidodo or Jokovi as a party frame.
“Starting from December 13, 2024, people contacted him, asking him to resign from the post of general secretary. If he resigned, he will not be criminalized. This is the first. Then the second, do not fire Jokovi. If HEO is these two things, then it will not be criminalized, ”he said.
McDier argued that the case when Haso could not be separated from the internal dynamics of the party and the interests of the authorities.
“All brothers and sisters, let’s look good that this business is not a common thing, not a simple matter of bribery, and not a case that is an obstacle to the investigation. But this is an effort, from the discussion of some friends in PDIP, in fact it is an initial effort that did not successfully acquire a party when President Jokovi asked for an additional term of the office, and also when he did not have time in this.
