Call His Case Expired, Rafael Alun Requests to be Released

Dream - Former official of the Directorate General of Taxes of the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun Trisambodo, requested the Central Jakarta Corruption Court Judges to hand down a not guilty verdict. The request was conveyed through an exception or objection note read in the trial.

"Brother, it is appropriate for you, the defendant, to be declared free from all charges by the public prosecutor, resulting in the logical consequence of the indictment letter being null and void according to the law."

In his objection note, Rafael also requested the Judges to dismiss the prosecutor's charges. According to him, the alleged criminal act has exceeded the time limit or expired, which means the alleged gratification occurred 21 years ago.

"Please pay attention to the Honorable Judges of the Corruption Court, it can be concluded that the indictment letter is null and void because the public prosecutor's authority to prosecute the alleged criminal acts of the defendant has expired."
say the power of Rafael's legal team.

In addition, Rafael mentioned that the prosecutor's allegations were invalid. According to him, referring to the Corruption Eradication Law Article 38, when the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducts an investigation, determines a suspect, and seizes evidence, it is contrary to the law.

"The determination of suspects against the defendant has been carried out unlawfully and against the law because it was conducted during the investigation or at least together with the commencement of the investigation process and was not accompanied by a Letter of Suspect Determination against the defendant."
"tambahnya." translates to "addition."

quoted from Merdeka.com.

Rafael's legal counsel mentioned that when the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) started its investigation, it was not accompanied by a suspect determination document as stated in the Decree no. 40/2023 on March 27, 2023, and the Decree no. 59/2023 on April 14, 2023. In addition, Rafael's legal counsel also highlighted the issue of evidence that has been seized by the KPK investigators, which cannot be used as a reference or basis for his client to be prosecuted. This is because the evidence in the investigation phase only indicates the presence or absence of a criminal act.

"Then how is it possible for KPK investigators to have two valid pieces of evidence when the investigation started at the same time as the suspect's appointment, who is currently referred to as the defendant,"
ujarnya.

Rafael was accused of receiving gratification amounting to Rp16.6 billion. Rafael was also accused of committing Money Laundering Criminal Acts (TPPU) estimated at Rp100 billion. From both cases, Rafael was accused of collaborating with his wife Ernie Meike Torondek and Mario Dandy Satrio. The proceeds from the illicit money were used to invest in buying houses and land, including purchasing several luxury cars and other luxury items.
