Febrie Adriansyah pre-trial hearing focuses on investigation legality
The pre-trial hearing for former Attorney General's Office official Febrie Adriansyah at the South Jakarta District Court has centered on the legality of his investigation and suspect designation. Defense counsel Febri Diansyah claims that expert testimony provided by the Indonesian National Police actually supports their arguments, specifically regarding the principle of 'lex favorio.' This principle dictates that the most recent or lenient criminal regulations must be applied, even during the investigation stage.
The defense argues that the investigation order incorrectly utilizes Articles 3, 4, and 5 of the Money Laundering Law, which they contend are no longer applicable. Meanwhile, legal expert Prof. Chairul Huda noted that the inclusion of various articles in investigation orders is a common occurrence during the current transition between the old and new Criminal Codes.
Additionally, legal expert Prof. Nur Basuki testified that the search and seizure warrants issued by the Cibinong District Court were substantively invalid. He argued that the court lacked relative competence, as warrants should be issued by the district court covering the location of the search or the location of the seized objects, rather than the location of the investigating institution.
